When we seek medical care, we trust doctors, nurses, and hospitals to provide proper treatment. But when medical negligence or errors occur, the consequences can be life-altering—or even fatal. If a healthcare provider’s mistake caused you serious harm, you may be entitled to compensation.
At Finlay Law Firm, we fight for victims of medical malpractice in Miami, Coral Gables, and throughout South Florida. With over 15 years of litigation experience, Attorney Javier Finlay helps clients hold hospitals, doctors, and healthcare facilities accountable for their mistakes—ensuring victims receive the justice and financial support they deserve.
Medical malpractice can take many forms, often leading to serious injury, long-term complications, or wrongful death. We handle cases involving:
Failing to diagnose cancer, heart conditions, infections, or other serious illnesses can lead to life-threatening consequences.
Mistakes such as wrong-site surgery, anesthesia errors, or leaving surgical instruments inside the body can have devastating effects.
Negligence during labor and delivery can result in permanent injuries such as cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, or brain damage.
Patients may suffer severe reactions, overdoses, or worsened conditions due to incorrect medications or dosages.
Beyond the common cases, errors in emergency rooms, radiology misinterpretations, and improper post-surgical care can also be considered medical malpractice. If you suspect negligence, a legal review of your case can help determine your options.
Not all bad outcomes are malpractice. A case exists if a doctor, nurse, or hospital failed to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in serious injury, worsening condition, or wrongful death.
Damages may cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, and wrongful death compensation for surviving family members.
In most cases, Florida law allows two years from the date of discovery of malpractice to file a claim. However, exceptions apply, so it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
It depends. Some hospitals, urgent care centers, and clinics can be held responsible for their employees’ negligence, while private-practice doctors may be sued individually. We will evaluate who is liable for your injuries.
A consultation costs nothing—but waiting could cost you everything.
