One call changes understaffed neglect into cash relief
Hospital Negligence Lawyers
Bedside alarms rang unanswered while understaffed shifts cut corners, classic Florida hospital negligence that leaves patients weaker than admission. By filing a § 766 presuit notice, you force the facility to release charts, surveillance footage, and sworn nurse affidavits within weeks. Percy Martinez converts that evidence, plus AHCA disciplinary data, into compensation that restores health and rewrites hospital safety protocols.

See how policy gaps create liability you can leverage
What qualifies as hospital malpractice in Florida
Hospitals face liability whenever their staffing, policies, or equipment deviate from accepted standards and harm a patient. Wrong site surgery and treatment delays remain among the Joint Commission’s top sentinel events. Nearly one third of U.S. physicians have already been sued, underscoring systemic risk. Florida’s vicarious liability rules allow you to sue the institution, not just the doctor, when policy failures cause injury. Our board certified trial lawyer’s reputation often prompts fair settlements before trial.
Request your records and let our experts prove the negligence
How do I confirm my case meets Florida’s negligence standards
Request your entire chart first; HIPAA gives hospitals only thirty days to comply. Florida Statute § 766.203 demands a sworn medical expert affidavit before you sue. We secure that opinion and track the two year filing window capped at four years from the incident to keep your claim alive. Our bilingual staff guides families 24/7, so evidence never slips away. With liability checked, most clients ask, “What could my case be worth?”
We count every bill and future loss before talks begin
Compensation claim from hospital malpractice
The National Practitioner Data Bank places the median payout near $250,000, yet juries often award seven figures when lifelong care is required. We calculate economic losses (bills, wages), non economic losses (pain, life changes), and when policy shows recklessness punitive damages. Independent surgeons, administrators, and economists supply the hard numbers insurers respect.
Timely action keeps evidence fresh and insurers cornered
What is Florida’s deadline and filing process
Victims usually get two years from discovery and never more than four years from the incident, plus a 90 day presuit investigation. Our secure portal time stamps each affidavit and notice, proving compliance. Voter approved fee caps keep lawyers to 30 % of the first $250k and 10 % above that, preserving more for rehab and future care. Deadlines matter, but attorney skill wins cases see why families choose us.
