Medical malpractice happens when a doctor, surgeon, hospital, or other healthcare provider falls below the accepted standard of care — and a patient pays the price with their health, their livelihood, or their life. These cases are among the most technically complex in personal injury law, requiring both deep medical knowledge and aggressive legal representation. Whether your case involves a surgical error, a missed or delayed diagnosis, a medication mistake, a birth injury, emergency room negligence, or another form of preventable medical harm, you deserve attorneys who understand exactly what went wrong and how to prove it. Silva & Silva brings a rare combination of in-house medical and legal expertise to every case — starting with a free case review.

Medical Malpractice Attorney in Lighthouse Point, FL

One of Silva & Silva’s founding attorneys holds both a medical degree and a law degree — a combination that fundamentally changes how your case is analyzed. When he reviews a medical record, he reads it the way a treating physician would, identifying deviations from the standard of care that a non-physician attorney might miss entirely. Every client’s claim is evaluated independently by both a licensed physician and a licensed attorney before the firm commits to representation. That standard of internal review exists to protect our clients and to ensure that every case we pursue is one we are fully prepared to win. There are no upfront costs — Silva & Silva handles medical malpractice cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
