Convert missed diagnoses into full financial recovery today
Diagnostic Errors Laywers
When a benign looking scan masks a growing threat, that missed clue becomes a diagnostic error under Florida medical malpractice standards. Serving a § 766 notice of intent lets us subpoena radiology images, lab panels, and a board certified expert’s corroborating affidavit before insurers spin defenses. I’m Percy Martinez; I leverage those proofs into settlements that fund corrective care and push hospitals to refine their diagnostic protocols.

Learn how common errors create potent leverage for your claim
Florida’s Epidemic of Misdiagnosis
“Diagnostic mistakes permanently disable or kill 795,000 Americans each year,” Johns Hopkins researchers warn. They found five conditions stroke, sepsis, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, lung cancer cause 150,000 of those harms annually. Florida families feel that pain daily: missed strokes in Miami ERs and undiagnosed infections in Florida clinics translate to lost wages, rising bills, and avoidable funerals. Victims often ask, “Can I sue a doctor for misdiagnosis?” The short answer is yes and the longer answer unfolds below.
Beat Florida’s filing clock and preserve vital proof
Do I Have a Case? (Florida Rules Explained)
Florida gives you two years from the date you discovered or should have discovered medical negligence to file suit. A four year absolute deadline (statute of repose) stops claims that surface late. Missed cancer or stroke often hides until severe harm appears, so courts apply the “discovery rule” liberally. Percy Martinez’s team files the presuit notice, obtains the mandatory medical expert affidavit, and freezes the clock while negotiations start. Waiting risks dismissal, lost evidence, and vanished witnesses. Call before the deadline steals your rights.
Proven courtroom visuals turn complex cases into clear wins
Why Families Choose Percy Martinez
Across Miami, Orlando, and Jacksonville, patients know our name because we only handle serious medical negligence and win. Firm data show a 94 % settlement or verdict success rate in misdiagnosis claims over the last decade (internal case audit, 2024). Media outlets credit Percy’s courtroom graphics that map “big three” errors to real brain scans, turning medical jargon into stories juries remember. Clients praise “clear, honest updates” and a contingency fee: no recovery, no attorney fee.
Neutral re reads and audit trails show exactly where care failed
How We Prove Doctors Missed the Obvious
Our investigation begins with neutral radiology re reads, electronic health record audits, and timeline reconstruction. Independent specialists compare expected diagnostic pathways against what actually happened, spotlighting deviations that breach the standard of care. Percy’s team secured a seven figure settlement when a Jacksonville hospital ignored CT signs of pulmonary embolism; timestamped scans and a vascular medicine expert closed the gap. We shoulder record collection fees, so you focus on healing while we build an air tight narrative fit for both judge and jury.
We count every future cost so no dollar is left out
