Flores, P.A., represents Homestead residents in cases arising from care delivered at the local hospitals, community clinics, and specialty centers that serve the area.

What to do if you suspect malpractice in Homestead
The sooner an injured patient contacts an attorney, the more a Florida medical malpractice firm can do to preserve the case. A number of statutory deadlines apply, and the procedural rules for a Florida medical malpractice case differ from those of any ordinary negligence claim.
01
Request and preserve your medical records
Obtain copies of every record connected to the care at issue. Do not sign any releases from the provider or the provider’s carrier before speaking with an attorney.
02
Document the injury and its effects
Keep a written record of current symptoms, ongoing care needs, missed work, and any conversations with the provider or facility about what happened.
03
Understand the deadlines
Florida imposes a two-year statute of limitations on most medical malpractice claims, along with a separate four-year repose deadline and a pre-suit notice process that must be completed before any lawsuit is filed. See our pre-suit requirements guide for the full framework.
04
Talk to a Florida medical malpractice attorney
A free consultation with the Law Offices of Jorge L. Flores, P.A., costs nothing and starts the case-evaluation process. Early attorney involvement protects the records, identifies every responsible defendant, and preserves expert review options.
Homestead families deserve the same quality of legal representation as anyone in Miami. A medical malpractice case is often the most important legal matter a family will ever pursue, and it should not be handled like an ordinary injury claim.
