Inside Knowledge of Medicine and Insurance Companies
Our attorneys have experience defending medical providers and their insurance companies, so we understand how they think and what it takes to get the settlement you deserve. Partner Daniel Harwin’s father and grandfather were doctors, so he has been around medicine his entire life.
Coming from a family of physicians gave me incredible insight into the way the practice of medicine should be. I grew up watching my dad speak with other physicians on the weekends, at night, and in the morning. I got a flavor for the way medicine should be practiced. I now understand when there are communication breakdowns when a physician doesn’t take the time to call another doctor about a patient. It’s that history that I have that drives me because I know the way that medicine should be practiced, and it’s important for me to hold physicians and hospitals to that same standard.
Pembroke Pines Medical Malpractice FAQs
Who Can be Held Liable for My Medical Malpractice Case in Pembroke Pines, FL?
Any licensed health care provider may be held liable when they breach the standard of care and the breach causes an injury.

Often, we find that multiple providers breached the standard of care, including the following:

How Much Compensation Can I Receive for My Medical Malpractice Claim?
Every medical malpractice case is unique. The compensation you might recover is based on distinct factors, such as the nature and severity of your injuries, the conduct of the responsible providers, your age and life expectancy, your financial losses, and the degree of suffering your injuries cause.
Compensation in medical malpractice cases is often substantial due to the lifelong impact of the resulting injuries. Your compensation may include the following types of damages:
- Economic damages – compensate for your monetary losses, such as current and future medical expenses, lost wages, and loss of future earning capacity
- Non-economic damages – compensate for your quality-of-life losses, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life
- Punitive damages – damages available in rare cases of intentional misconduct or gross negligence to punish the defendant and deter such conduct in the future
- Wrongful death damages – damages awarded to certain family members when medical malpractice causes death, including loss of your loved one’s probable lifetime income had they survived, funeral expenses, and loss of companionship
Our attorneys at FHVG are passionate and aggressive, employing all available resources to pursue full compensation from every liable party.
How Long Do You Have To Sue for Medical Malpractice in Pembroke Pines?
The Florida medical malpractice statute of limitations imposes a deadline of two years from the date you discover or reasonably should have discovered your injury. However, Florida also has a four-year statute of repose, which imposes a hard deadline, meaning you cannot sue more than four years after the health care provider made the error, even if you could not have discovered your injury any sooner.
Determining when the clock on the statute of limitations starts to run can be complex, especially if the opposition asserts that you should have discovered the injury sooner. Our knowledgeable Pembroke Pines medical malpractice attorneys can determine how the statute of limitations applies to your case and file your claim before time expires, but it is crucial to contact us as soon as possible.
