The area of medical malpractice litigation calls for a focused understanding of the intricacies of medicine and the health care system. Defending the rising tide of claims against the medical community helps keep health care costs down and protects physicians’ rights.
Our attorneys work with physicians, physician groups, hospitals, surgery centers, and imaging facilities throughout the State of Florida. Our premier trial expertise has resulted in a proven track record of obtaining excellent results for the wide variety of clients we serve.
Dental Malpractice
Although incidents of injury resulting from dental treatment are not as widely publicized as many medical malpractice matters, they are not uncommon within the industry.

Dental implants, root canals, crowns, cosmetic dental procedures, and even routine cavity fillings can become the basis for a dental malpractice claim.
