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 Can Help Prove Your Case in Pompano Beach, Florida

We start your case by reviewing your medical records with a fine-toothed comb.

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.

Pompano Beach Medical Malpractice FAQs

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

Medical malpractice cases can be complex and may take anywhere from a few months to several years to resolve. If your case goes to trial, the process could take even longer. However, our firm has a proven track record of successfully settling the majority of our medical malpractice cases.

Regardless of how long your case takes, we are committed to supporting you every step of the way. We will protect your rights, keep you informed throughout the process, and work relentlessly to secure a fair and just outcome for you.

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 you have lost a loved one due to medical malpractice, you may be entitled to compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit. Recoverable damages can include funeral and burial costs, medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of companionship, and the financial support your loved one would have provided.

The amount of compensation will depend on various factors, including the severity of the injury, its financial impact, and the long-term effects on your life. Since every case is unique, we offer personalized attention and compassionate support to help you fully assess your loss. Our dedicated Pompano Beach medical malpractice lawyers are committed to using every available resource to pursue the maximum compensation for you in an ethical and determined manner.

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

In Florida, the medical malpractice statute of limitations requires that you file a claim within two years of discovering—or when you reasonably should have discovered—the malpractice. Additionally, claims must be filed within four years from the date of the healthcare provider’s negligence, even if the injury is not immediately apparent.

Given the complexity of medical malpractice cases, it’s essential to contact an experienced Pompano Beach medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible. Early legal involvement helps preserve critical evidence, such as eyewitness testimonies and physical proof of your injuries, which can strengthen your case. Missing the filing deadline can result in losing your right to seek compensation, so it’s important to act quickly to protect your claim.

How Can Negligence Be Proven in a Pompano Beach 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.

To prove a breach of duty in a medical malpractice case, you must demonstrate that the healthcare provider failed to meet the standard of care expected from reasonably skilled and qualified medical professionals in similar situations. Key evidence includes your medical records and expert witness testimony, which help show how the provider’s actions fell short of the standard of care and caused your injury.

Additional supporting evidence such as eyewitness statements, incident reports, and hospital personnel records can further strengthen your claim. Financial documentation, including pay stubs and medical bills, is critical to establishing the economic impact of your injuries. Testimonies from family members, vocational experts, and life care planners can also support your case by proving non-economic damages like pain and suffering.

Every medical malpractice case is unique. Our team is here to identify and gather the necessary evidence to build the strongest possible case on your behalf.
