Why Your Family Needs a Medical Malpractice Wrongful Death Attorney
Medical malpractice wrongful death cases are among the most complex and aggressively defended claims in Florida law. Hospitals have teams of lawyers and insurers working to deny responsibility. You need an attorney who can secure the medical records, retain the right experts, and prove that negligence — not an unavoidable complication — caused your loved one's death.
Florida requires expert certification
Before a medical malpractice lawsuit can even be filed, Florida law requires a qualified medical expert to certify that negligence likely occurred. We have the network of specialists needed to meet this strict pre-suit requirement.
Hospitals fight these cases hard
Healthcare providers and their insurers rarely admit fault. They will argue the death was an unavoidable complication. We counter with independent experts who pinpoint exactly where the standard of care was breached.
Records can be incomplete or altered
Medical charts are sometimes incomplete, ambiguous, or quietly amended. We know how to obtain the complete record — including metadata and audit trails — and identify discrepancies.
Damages must account for a lifetime
A wrongful death claim must value decades of lost income, guidance, and companionship. We work with economists and life-care planners so your family is never shortchanged.
Strict deadlines apply
Florida's overlapping statutes of limitations and repose for medical malpractice and wrongful death are unforgiving. Acting quickly protects evidence and your family's right to recover.
Fatal Medical Errors Our Attorneys Handle
Medical malpractice can take many forms. Whatever the cause, if a provider's negligence took your loved one, our Orlando wrongful death lawyers are here to fight for your family and connect your claim to our wider wrongful death practice.
Explore Our Wrongful Death PracticeWhat to Do If You Suspect Medical Negligence Caused a Death
In the painful days after losing a loved one, a few steps can protect your family's right to answers and accountability.
Request the Complete Medical Records
You have a legal right to your loved one's medical records. Request the full chart in writing as soon as possible — don't accept a summary.
Preserve Everything
Keep discharge papers, medication bottles, billing statements, the death certificate, and any communications with the providers.
Write Down What Happened
Document the timeline of care, who treated your loved one, and what you were told, while the details are fresh.
Don't Sign Anything from the Hospital
Do not sign releases, waivers, or settlement offers from the facility or its insurer before an attorney reviews them.
Don't Post on Social Media
Defense teams monitor social media. Anything posted can be taken out of context and used against your family's claim.

Compensation in a Medical Malpractice Death Claim
Florida's Wrongful Death Act allows surviving family members to recover for both economic losses and the profound emotional impact of losing a loved one. Our attorneys calculate every dimension of your family's loss to pursue maximum recovery.
Loss of financial support
The income, benefits, and services the deceased would have provided to the family over their lifetime
Loss of companionship & guidance
The emotional loss of a spouse's companionship, a parent's guidance, or a child's love and affection
Mental pain and suffering
The anguish, grief, and emotional distress experienced by surviving family members
Medical expenses
Bills incurred between the negligent care and death, including emergency treatment and hospitalization
Funeral & burial costs
Reasonable funeral, burial, or cremation expenses borne by the family
Lost prospective net accumulations
The value of the estate the deceased likely would have left to survivors had they lived a full life
Loss of parental guidance
For minor children, the value of the instruction, moral guidance, and training they will now miss
Punitive damages
In cases of egregious or reckless misconduct, courts may award additional damages to punish the wrongdoer
Florida Medical Malpractice & Wrongful Death Law
Medical malpractice wrongful death claims sit at the intersection of two demanding areas of Florida law. Chapter 766 governs medical negligence and imposes a mandatory pre-suit investigation, expert certification, and a 90-day notice period before a lawsuit may be filed. The Wrongful Death Act (F.S. § 768.16–768.26) governs who may recover and what damages are available.
Generally, you have two years from when the malpractice was discovered (or should have been discovered) to bring a claim, with a four-year statute of repose from the date of the negligent care. Because these deadlines overlap and can be shortened or extended by specific facts, missing them can permanently bar recovery.
Many of these cases resolve within 18 to 30 months given the expert work involved, though complex cases can take longer. If a fair resolution cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to try your case before an Orange County jury.
Strict Pre-Suit Requirements
Florida requires a qualified medical expert to review the care and certify the claim before suit. This takes time to do correctly — contact our Orlando wrongful death attorneys today at (407) 777-8888 so we can begin protecting your family's rights immediately.
