What distinguishes the Law Offices of Michael Barszcz from other injury or malpractice attorneys?

Our firm provides a rare combination of experience: Michael Barszcz is both a medical doctor (M.D.) and a civil trial attorney (J.D.), with over three decades of trial experience. This dual expertise means he can evaluate medical evidence, understand complex healthcare procedures, and translate that into a strong legal strategy.

What types of medical malpractice cases does your office handle?

We handle a broad range of medical negligence matters, including birth injuries, surgical errors, anesthesia mistakes, delayed diagnosis, hospital communication/documentation errors, nursing-home abuse, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death due to medical care.

How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case in Florida?

In Florida, you must show a doctor-patient relationship existed, the provider breached the standard of care, the breach caused your injury, and the injury resulted in measurable damages. Your case must also be filed within the statute of limitations.

What is the statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice or wrongful death claim in Florida?

Medical malpractice claims generally must be filed within two years from when the injury was discovered or should have been discovered. Wrongful death claims due to malpractice also have a two-year limit, with some exceptions depending on the case.

How do personal injury cases differ from medical malpractice cases?

Personal injury cases usually involve negligence by a driver, manufacturer, or property owner, while medical malpractice involves negligence by healthcare professionals. Medical malpractice also requires proving the medical standard of care. Attorney Barszcz handles both types of cases.

What costs are involved when I hire your firm?

We operate on a contingency fee basis for injury and malpractice cases, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we win your case. There are no upfront legal costs.

How soon should I contact your office after being injured or harmed by medical negligence?

Immediately. The earlier we gather evidence, medical records, and witness statements, the stronger your case will be. Delays can reduce the value or viability of your claim.

What kind of compensation might I be eligible for?

Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, long-term care costs, and in wrongful death cases, funeral costs and loss of financial support. Each case is evaluated during your free consultation.

What if the responsible party is a hospital or large healthcare system?

We routinely handle cases involving hospitals, clinics, and major healthcare systems. Attorney Barszcz’s medical and legal expertise is especially valuable in these complex, high-stakes cases.

Do you handle cases only in Florida?

Our primary focus is the state of Florida. Cases involving Florida healthcare providers or accidents occurring in Florida fall within our scope. Contact us for specific case evaluations.

What is your process for handling a case?

Our process includes a free consultation, thorough investigation, expert review, legal strategy development, negotiation or litigation, and full support through resolution.

How long does it take to resolve a case?

Timelines vary based on case complexity, available evidence, expert involvement, and whether the defendant is willing to settle. Some cases resolve in months; complex malpractice cases take longer.

Will I have to go to court?

Many cases settle without a trial. However, we are fully prepared to litigate when it benefits your case and compensation.

How involved will I be in the case?

You will be informed at every key stage. While our team manages legal and medical analysis, your input and questions are encouraged throughout the case.

What happens if I was partly at fault?

Florida’s comparative fault system may reduce compensation proportionally. In medical malpractice, fault largely relates to the provider’s deviation from the medical standard of care.

Can I switch attorneys?

Yes. If you are unhappy with your current representation, you can consult us to determine whether switching is appropriate. We will advise you based on deadlines and case stage.

Why do malpractice cases require expert witnesses?

Because expert testimony is necessary to establish the medical standard of care and show how the provider’s negligence caused the injury. Florida law requires expert involvement in malpractice claims.

Are minors treated differently in malpractice or wrongful death cases?

Yes. Cases involving minors may involve extended timelines, different damage evaluations, and unique legal considerations, especially in birth injury or child wrongful death cases.

Can I file a case if the provider denies negligence or records are incomplete?

Yes. Our team investigates thoroughly, obtains records, consults medical experts, and builds a case even when providers deny responsibility or documentation is limited.

What should I bring to my free consultation?

Bring any medical records you have, a timeline of events, names of providers, insurance correspondence, photos or videos if relevant, and any questions you want addressed.
