Your family deserves this level of legal firepower when negligent doctors have stolen your health, your income, and your peace of mind. Call (305) 528-2221 today.
Medical Malpractice Happens Daily in Kendall Hospitals
Every year, thousands of patients trust Kendall’s hospitals with their lives, and too many leave worse than they arrived. HCA Florida Kendall Hospital handles 90,000 emergency visits annually, creating countless opportunities for rushed diagnoses, medication errors, and surgical mistakes. Baptist Health South Miami performs complex heart surgeries and spine operations where tiny errors cause permanent damage. These aren’t just statistics but real families facing medical bills they can’t pay, disabilities they didn’t expect, and futures they didn’t plan. Florida law says you deserve compensation when healthcare providers fail to meet professional standards. Proving it requires showing four things: the doctor owed you proper care, they failed to provide it, their failure caused your injury, and you suffered real damages. Jorge L. Flores knows how to prove each element.
Doctor Errors We See Most Often in Kendall
Birth injuries top the list of devastating medical mistakes, turning joy into lifelong struggle when doctors ignore fetal distress or delay emergency C-sections. Cerebral palsy, brain damage, and Erb’s palsy result from preventable delivery room errors that proper monitoring would have caught. Surgical mistakes happen even with Kendall’s advanced robotic surgery systems when surgeons operate on the wrong site, leave instruments inside patients, or damage nerves during routine procedures.
Cancer misdiagnosis steals precious treatment time when doctors dismiss symptoms or fail to order proper tests. Emergency room errors send heart attack and stroke victims home to suffer permanent damage or death. Medication mistakes from wrong doses, drug interactions, or pharmacy errors poison patients who came for healing. Each error type requires different proof strategies that Mr. Flores has mastered through decades of practice.
Florida Law Protects Your Right to Full Compensation
Florida stands apart from other states because we have no caps on medical malpractice damages. The Supreme Court declared damage caps unconstitutional in 2017, meaning juries can award whatever compensation matches your actual losses. You can recover every penny of past and future medical bills, lost wages, and reduced earning capacity. Beyond economics, you deserve compensation for pain, suffering, and lost quality of life. The statute of limitations gives you two years from discovering the malpractice to file suit, though children injured at birth have until their eighth birthday. Florida requires pre-suit investigation where your attorney must notify defendants and obtain expert medical opinions confirming malpractice occurred. This 90-day waiting period often produces early settlements when hospitals realize they can’t defend their negligence. Jorge L. Flores navigates these requirements expertly. Call (305) 528-2221 for guidance.
Why Jorge L. Flores Gets Results Others Can’t Match
Experience alone doesn’t win medical malpractice cases, but the right experience does. Jorge L. Flores brings a unique triple perspective after 30 years in law. As a former prosecutor, he knows how to build cases that convince skeptical juries. As a former insurance defense attorney, he understands exactly how hospitals and their insurers will try to escape liability. Now, as your advocate, he uses both skill sets to anticipate and defeat every defense tactic. His AV Preeminent rating from Martindale Hubbell puts him in the top 5% of all attorneys for legal ability and ethics. Defense lawyers know this rating means they’re facing someone who won’t back down and has the skills to win at trial. That reputation often drives better settlement offers without the stress of court proceedings. Reach him at (305) 528-2221.
Personal Service in English, Spanish, and Portuguese
Kendall families deserve an attorney who speaks their language, literally and culturally. Over 80% of our community identifies as Hispanic, making bilingual service essential, not optional. Jorge L. Flores provides complete legal services in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. This means every document, every meeting, and every phone call happens in your preferred language. No confusion about medical terms or legal concepts because of translation problems. When you call our office at (305) 528-2221, you speak directly with Mr. Flores or his qualified staff, never a call center. He personally reviews your medical records, meets with you about your case, and makes all strategic decisions. This personal attention means faster responses, better understanding of your situation, and ultimately stronger results for your family.
Kendall Hospitals Where Preventable Errors Occur
HCA Florida Kendall Hospital serves as one of only two Level I Trauma Centers in Miami-Dade County. With 424 beds, 13 robotic surgery systems, and 90,000 emergency visits yearly, even small error rates mean numerous injured patients. Baptist Health South Miami Hospital earned Magnet nursing designation, yet their complex cardiac and spine surgeries still produce preventable complications when protocols fail. Baptist Health West Kendall opened to serve our growing community but teaching programs with residents can lead to supervision failures and missed diagnoses. Jackson South Medical Center provides essential safety net services, but resource limitations and overcrowding contribute to emergency room mistakes and communication breakdowns. Mr. Flores has successfully sued all these facilities, knowing their systems, their weaknesses, and their insurance carriers. This institutional knowledge gives your case an immediate advantage.
Real Results for Real Kendall Families
Actions speak louder than advertisements, and Jorge L. Flores has the results to prove his effectiveness. Just this year, he secured a multi-million dollar settlement for a Kendall family after surgical error left them facing lifelong disability. The hospital initially denied responsibility, but Mr. Flores’s investigation revealed critical safety violations. Another recent case involved a baby who suffered brain damage during delivery at a local hospital. By proving the staff ignored clear signs of fetal distress, he obtained funding for lifetime medical care and therapy. A misdiagnosis case where doctors missed obvious heart attack symptoms resulted in substantial compensation after Mr. Flores demonstrated the emergency room failed to follow basic protocols. While every case is unique and past results don’t guarantee future outcomes, these victories show what’s possible with the right legal representation at (305) 528-2221.
The Legal Process Made Simple and Stress-Free
Your journey to justice begins with a free consultation where Mr. Flores evaluates your case honestly and thoroughly. Call (305) 528-2221 to schedule. If you have a valid claim, he handles everything on contingency, meaning you pay nothing unless he wins. The process starts with gathering medical records and consulting medical experts who confirm malpractice occurred. Florida law requires serving notice to defendants, triggering a 90-day investigation period that often leads to early settlement offers. If fair compensation isn’t offered, we file suit and begin discovery to build your case. Most cases settle before trial, but Mr. Flores prepares every case as if it will go to court. This thorough preparation motivates better settlements from defendants who know he won’t accept lowball offers. The entire process typically takes 18 to 36 months.
Your Rights as a Patient in Florida
Florida’s Patient Bill of Rights guarantees you specific protections that medical providers must respect. You have the right to informed consent before any procedure, meaning doctors must explain risks, benefits, and alternatives in language you understand. You can access all your medical records and have them explained clearly. You deserve care that meets accepted professional standards, not shortcuts or cost-cutting measures that endanger your health. When providers violate these rights through negligence, you can seek full compensation for your injuries. The law recognizes that children and elderly patients need special protection since they may not immediately recognize or report medical errors. Parents can file claims for injured children, while adult children can pursue justice when elderly parents suffer from hospital negligence. Jorge L. Flores ensures these rights become reality, not just promises on paper.
Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Malpractice
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Florida? You have two years from when you discovered or should have discovered the malpractice. There’s also a four-year absolute deadline from the incident itself. Children injured at birth have until their eighth birthday to file claims. Don’t wait to consult an attorney since evidence can disappear and witnesses forget important details over time.
What compensation can I recover in a Florida medical malpractice case? Florida allows full recovery of all economic damages including past and future medical bills, lost wages, and reduced earning capacity. You can also recover non-economic damages for pain, suffering, mental anguish, and loss of life enjoyment. Since Florida eliminated damage caps in 2017, juries can award appropriate compensation based on your actual losses without artificial limits. Every case differs, but Jorge L. Flores fights for maximum compensation.
Do I need an expert witness for my medical malpractice case? Yes, Florida law requires expert testimony from a qualified medical professional in the same specialty. The expert must establish what the standard of care should have been, prove the doctor breached that standard, and show how the breach caused your injuries. Jorge L. Flores works with respected medical experts who can explain complex medical issues clearly to juries. These relationships, built over 30 years, strengthen your case significantly.
