How We Help With Medical Malpractice
At Aaron R. Coven Law Firm, we understand the challenges you face after a medical malpractice. Our team is dedicated to fighting for your rights and ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve. Florida presuit investigation, expert screening, and litigation for surgical, diagnostic, birth, and hospital negligence—procedural compliance with state malpractice requirements.
Quick Florida Answer
Medical malpractice claims require showing a health care provider breached the professional standard of care and caused injury. Florida mandates presuit investigation, including expert opinion, before filing suit in most cases. These cases are document-intensive and statute-of-limitations sensitive.
Palm Beach County & Florida context
Patients treated in Palm Beach County hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and Orlando specialty clinics deserve records that match the standard of care for their condition. We coordinate presuit screening with qualified experts so meritorious cases survive procedural hurdles.

Common Questions
How long do I have to investigate malpractice?
Florida malpractice statutes of limitations and repose are complex and fact-specific, with exceptions for fraud, foreign objects, and minors. Delay can bar claims, so prompt review is critical.
Do all bad outcomes mean malpractice?
No. Medicine carries known risks; malpractice requires proof that a provider fell below the accepted standard and that the breach caused harm.
Who pays for presuit experts?
Firms advancing meritorious cases typically front expert costs subject to ethical fee agreements; specifics should be discussed at intake.
Can I sue a nurse or hospital, not just a doctor?
Yes, when staffing, policies, or joint employer relationships support institutional liability alongside individual providers.
Will my doctor find out I am investigating?
Presuit notice requirements eventually inform providers, but initial expert reviews can often be confidential under attorney work product.
