TESTIMONIALS

I met Dan when I was in therapy and he came and right away it felt like a family member visiting you, a connection, like a brother. He’s been on both sides of the fence. He’s represented the hospitals and the doctors, and then he jumped over to the other side. It is a fantastic group, it was like Bell Belichick leading the team. They changed my life and still check on me. I recommend FHV to anybody and they thank me.

LARRY

I met Dan about a year ago. He never made me feel that it was about the money. When he spoke with me he was asking how Bill (my brother) was and if he was doing better. He made me feel like family and always asked if I was alright. That means a lot. Everyday is something new and I challenge for my brother. I would recommend [FHV] to everybody because I really believe that they’re helping from their hearts… from a really good place.

BILL

For anyone to represent anyone for 5 years and take the time to do it, not once just “get it out of the way” and “get it done with”. It was about what was best for Hunter and our family. It was about the case and the people.

How Our Medical Malpractice Lawyers at FHVG Can Help Prove Your Case in Hollywood, Florida

We start your case by reviewing your medical records with a fine-toothed comb. We review and analyze medical histories, diagnostic records, treatment plans, test results, and doctor notes to identify any deviations from the prevailing standard of care. We also consult world-class medical experts to help us determine how every deviation from the standard of care contributed to your injuries.

Next, we gather evidence to establish the financial and non-economic costs of your injuries, such as pre-injury earnings records, medical bills, and expert witness statements. Our network of experts includes life care planners, vocational experts, and medical professionals who can project your lifetime medical costs, long-term physical limitations, and future earnings.

Medical providers and their insurance companies seek to use their wealth and medical knowledge to intimidate injured patients and their attorneys, but these tactics are ineffective against our lawyers. Our attorneys have experience defending insurance companies and medical providers, so we can anticipate their tactics and stop them in their tracks.

In addition, our attorneys are South Florida natives familiar with the unique needs of injured patients in Hollywood and the legal landscape in the area.

Hollywood Medical Malpractice FAQs

How Long Does A Medical Malpractice Case Take in Hollywood, FL?

Due to their complex nature, the length of medical malpractice cases can range from a few months to several years. The timeline is generally longer if your case goes to trial. We are successful in settling most of our cases. Regardless of how long it takes, you can count on us to stand with you through every phase of the process, advising you of your rights, keeping you informed, and never giving up until you receive a just outcome.

What Damages Can Be Recovered In A Medical Malpractice Lawsuit?

You might be able to recover the following damages and more if you were injured by medical malpractice:

Medical expenses
Lost wages
Lost earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Loss of enjoyment of life
Emotional distress
Loss of function

If your loved one has died from medical malpractice, you might be eligible to pursue damages in a wrongful death lawsuit. Recoverable damages may include funeral expenses, your loved one’s medical expenses, your loved one’s pain and suffering, loss of companionship, and loss of your loved one’s financial support.

The recoverable amount will vary based on the nature and severity of the injury, its financial impact, and long-term effects on your life. Every case is unique, so we provide every client personalized attention and support to fully understand how much you have lost. You can count on our passionate, aggressive medical malpractice lawyers in Hollywood to employ all resources available to recover the maximum compensation available in an ethical way.

How Long Do I Have To File My Hollywood Medical Malpractice Claim?

Under the Florida medical malpractice statute of limitations, you must file your claim within two years of the date you discover or should have discovered the malpractice. However, you cannot file your claim more than four years from the date of the provider’s negligence, regardless of how long it takes for your injury to become discoverable.

Due to the amount of investigation and preparation a medical malpractice case requires before filing, contact an experienced Hollywood medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible to protect your claim. Early involvement also ensures your attorney has access to the most compelling evidence, such as eyewitness statements and the physical evidence of your injuries. If you miss the deadline, you could lose out on substantial compensation.

How Can Negligence Be Proven in a Hollywood Medical Malpractice Case?

To prove medical malpractice, you must establish all of the following elements of negligence:

Duty of care – You were a patient of the health care provider.
Breach of duty – The provider failed to meet the prevailing professional standard of care.
Injury – You suffered harm you would not have suffered except for the breach of duty.
Proximate cause – The breach is the actual cause of your injury.

Proving a breach of duty requires evidence that the health care provider failed to deliver the level of care, skill, and treatment expected from reasonably prudent medical professionals with similar qualifications.

You will need your medical records and expert witness testimony to prove that the provider’s actions fell short of the standard of care and caused your injury. We will also look for other evidence, such as eyewitness statements, incident reports, and hospital personnel records.

Furthermore, you will need financial records, such as pay stubs and medical bills, to prove the costs of your injuries. Statements from family members, vocational experts, and life care planners can support your claim and help prove pain and suffering damages. Every case is different. We can determine what evidence you need and gather it for you.
