Silva & Silva, P.A. – Catastrophic Injury & Wrongful Death Lawyers in Florida

Fighting for Families
Since 1992

Since 1992, Silva & Silva, P.A. has represented victims of wrongful and tortious conduct, focusing exclusively on complex litigation involving catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death cases in Florida.

Silva & Silva, P.A. has built its reputation on representing individuals and families facing the most serious consequences of negligence. Our work is grounded in a clear purpose: to hold wrongdoers accountable and to pursue justice for those whose lives have been permanently altered.

A Personal Tragedy That Changed Everything

Silva & Silva was not built from ambition alone; it was born from loss.

On Mother’s Day in 1979, brothers Carlos E. Silva and Jorge E. Silva experienced a devastating tragedy. Their mother died due to the actions of an anesthesiologist with a documented history of medical negligence.

That moment changed the course of their lives forever.

What they discovered in the aftermath was just as painful:

  • Systems that failed to protect patients
  • Professionals who were never held accountable
  • Families left without answers

Instead of accepting injustice, they decided to fight it.

Turning Loss Into Purpose

Driven by their experience, Carlos and Jorge pursued legal careers with a singular mission:

To stand up for victims of negligence and ensure no family faces injustice alone.

While attending law school, they learned how the legal system could be used as a powerful tool to:

  • Hold negligent doctors, corporations, and institutions accountable
  • Recover compensation for families facing life-altering loss
  • Create meaningful change through complex litigation

They didn’t just want to practice law—they wanted to challenge the establishment.

From its founding, Silva & Silva, P.A. has focused exclusively on high-stakes, complex cases, including:
