We’re here to answer your questions and guide you through every stage of the legal process so you can make informed decisions. We can investigate what happened, identify all liable parties, and track the losses you face. Our investigation may require us to:
- Speak with medical experts about the care you received

We’re also fully prepared to litigate on your behalf if you need to file a lawsuit in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Court in Palm Beach County.
We Have a Reputation for Handling Medical Malpractice Claims
Our team knows what it takes to handle medical malpractice cases. For example, we secured $2 million for the parents of a child who passed away because he did not receive proper care, even after his parents took him to a healthcare provider three separate times.
You can review our case results to see additional examples of our work. Our past results do not guarantee any future successes.

Understanding Florida’s Laws on Damage Caps for Medical Malpractice Claims
For many years, Florida capped (or limited) the amount of compensation you could receive for your non-economic losses after an act of medical malpractice. These losses include things like your physical pain and emotional suffering.
Technically, the laws supporting this cap are still on the books in Florida. However, in 2017, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that caps on non-economic damages in personal injury medical malpractice cases are unconstitutional (North Broward Hosp. Dist. v. Kalitan).
Courts have not generally been applying caps since this case. However, lawmakers continue to try to pass new laws on damage caps, so this may change in the future.

Deadlines to Handle Medical Malpractice Claims
You have limited time to take legal action after experiencing harm caused by a medical practitioner.
In most cases, you get two years from the date the malpractice occurred or the date you discovered the malpractice to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party under Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(b). An absolute deadline of four years applies in most cases regardless of when the harm was discovered.
In some cases, this deadline can vary. For example, you may have considerably more time to file a claim for an injured minor. Our team at GOLDLAW can review your circumstances and explain the timeline for your case.
Your Wellington medical malpractice attorney will also work quickly to resolve your case. Most of the claims we handle take under a year to resolve, though this can vary. We’re here to get to work if you experienced mistreatment at a local facility.
