TESTIMONIALS
I met Dan when I was in therapy and he came and right away it felt like a family member visiting you, a connection, like a brother. He’s been on both sides of the fence. He’s represented the hospitals and the doctors, and then he jumped over to the other side. It is a fantastic group, it was like Bell Belichick leading the team. They changed my life and still check on me. I recommend FHV to anybody and they thank me.
LARRY
I met Dan about a year ago. He never made me feel that it was about the money. When he spoke with me he was asking how Bill (my brother) was and if he was doing better. He made me feel like family and always asked if I was alright. That means a lot. Everyday is something new and I challenge for my brother. I would recommend [FHV] to everybody because I really believe that they’re helping from their hearts… from a really good place.
BILL
For anyone to represent anyone for 5 years and take the time to do it, not once just “get it out of the way” and “get it done with”. It was about what was best for Hunter and our family. It was about the case and the people.

Coconut Creek Medical Malpractice FAQs
What qualifies as medical malpractice in Coconut Creek?
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, hospital, or healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care and causes patient harm. This may include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, birth injuries, medication mistakes, or failure to properly monitor or treat a patient.
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim in Coconut Creek, Florida?
In most cases, Florida law requires medical malpractice claims to be filed within two years from the date the injury was discovered or should have been discovered, with limited exceptions. Acting quickly is critical to preserving evidence and protecting your right to compensation.
Do I need a medical expert to prove my Coconut Creek malpractice case?
Yes. Florida law generally requires testimony from qualified medical experts to establish that a healthcare provider breached the standard of care and caused injury. FHVG works with nationally recognized experts to build strong, evidence-based cases.
How Can Negligence Be Proven in a Coconut Creek Medical Malpractice Case?
To prove medical malpractice, you must establish all of the following elements of negligence:
- Duty of care – You were a patient of the health care provider.
- Breach of duty – The provider failed to meet the prevailing professional standard of care.
- Injury – You suffered harm you would not have suffered except for the breach of duty.
- Proximate cause – The breach is the actual cause of your injury.
To prove a breach of duty in a medical malpractice case, you must show that the health care provider failed to meet the standard of care expected from reasonably skilled and qualified medical professionals in similar circumstances. Key evidence includes your medical records and expert witness testimony to demonstrate how the provider’s actions fell short of the standard of care and caused your injury.
Additional evidence, such as eyewitness accounts, incident reports, and hospital personnel records, can further support your claim. Financial documentation, including pay stubs and medical bills, is essential to establish the economic impact of your injuries. Testimonies from family members, vocational experts, and life care planners can also strengthen your case by proving non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
Every case is unique, and we are here to identify and gather the necessary evidence to build the strongest claim possible on your behalf.
