How Our Kendall Cancer Misdiagnosis Attorneys Build Your Case
Cancer malpractice cases are among the most complex forms of medical malpractice. They require not only a clear understanding of medicine and law but also a law firm with the experience, resources, and dedication to see your case through. At Freidin Brown, P.A., our Kendall cancer misdiagnosis attorneys take a personalized, thorough approach to every case we handle.
Victim of a Cancer Misdiagnosis? Our Kendall Lawyers Are Here to Help!
We Start With an In-Depth Investigation
Our legal team carefully reviews your medical history, test results, imaging reports, and provider communications to understand what went wrong. We work with respected medical experts, including oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists, to identify how your provider’s care fell below the accepted medical standard.
We Identify Every Liable Party
Cancer malpractice often involves more than one mistake or one person. Your lawyer will determine whether negligence occurred at the hands of an individual doctor, a diagnostic lab, or a hospital system. Holding each responsible party accountable can maximize your potential recovery.
We Build a Case That Stands Up in Court
Even though many malpractice cases resolve through settlement, our team prepares every claim as if it will be tried before a jury. This approach gives us leverage in negotiations and ensures no detail is overlooked. Each case benefits from the insight of multiple attorneys with extensive trial experience, supported by a dedicated staff and trusted medical experts who help us build the strongest case possible.
We Leverage Big-Firm Resources With Small-Firm Care
Freidin Brown, P.A. has the depth of resources typically found at large firms but maintains a deliberately small caseload so each client receives personal attention. You’ll always know who’s handling your case and have direct access to your attorneys throughout the process.
Damages You Can Seek in a Kendall Cancer Misdiagnosis Case
A misdiagnosis doesn’t just change your medical outlook—it changes every part of your life. Our Kendall cancer misdiagnosis lawyers understand the weight of these losses, and we’re committed to pursuing compensation that truly reflects everything you’ve endured.
When we take your case, we work with medical experts, life care planners, and economists to assess both your current and long-term needs. Depending on your circumstances, we may pursue compensation for:
- Medical Expenses: Costs for hospitalizations, surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation, medications, and ongoing care.
- Future Medical Needs: Long-term treatment, rehabilitation, or palliative care caused by the delayed or incorrect diagnosis.
- Lost Income: Wages or business income lost while undergoing treatment or recovery.
- Reduced Earning Capacity: If you cannot return to your previous career or must take lower-paying work.
- Pain and Suffering: The physical pain and emotional anguish tied to your illness and its complications.
- Loss of Enjoyment of Life: The impact on your daily activities, independence, and relationships.
- Loss of Consortium: The harm your injuries have caused to your marital or family relationships.
- Wrongful Death Damages: If your loved one passed away due to a delayed or missed cancer diagnosis, your family may recover compensation for medical costs, funeral expenses, lost income, and loss of companionship.
Every case is unique, and no amount of money can undo what happened—but fair compensation can help ease the financial strain and bring accountability for negligent care. At Freidin Brown, P.A., we fight to ensure that your recovery reflects the full scope of your loss and honors what you’ve been through.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cancer Misdiagnosis Cases
What Are the Four Things That Must Be Proven to Win a Medical Malpractice Suit?
To win a medical malpractice case in Florida, your attorney must establish four elements of negligence. First, we must prove the provider owed you a duty of care, meaning a professional relationship existed between you and the provider. We must then show the provider breached that duty by failing to deliver care consistent with accepted medical standards.
Our lawyers have to prove causation, meaning the provider’s actions (or inaction) directly caused your harm. Finally, we must demonstrate damages—the measurable physical, financial, and emotional losses you suffered because of that negligence. Each of these elements must be supported by evidence, and our firm is well-equipped to obtain evidence to build your case.
Can You Sue a Hospital for Misdiagnosis in Florida?
Yes, hospitals and medical facilities in Florida can sometimes be held liable for cancer misdiagnoses. Liability often depends on whether the negligent doctor or staff member was an employee of the hospital or an independent contractor. Facilities like Baptist Hospital may also be responsible for systemic failures—such as inadequate staffing, poor communication, or lost lab results—that contributed to your misdiagnosis.
Our Kendall cancer malpractice attorneys will investigate every aspect of your care to determine whether the hospital, doctors, or both share responsibility for your injuries.
How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?
When you’re dealing with the shock of a late diagnosis, it’s easy to lose track of time—but Florida’s malpractice laws don’t leave much room for delay. The deadline to file your claim can vary based on when the negligence happened or when you discovered it, and missing it can mean losing your right to compensation entirely.
Florida also requires a detailed presuit process before you can sue, including notifying the provider and completing an expert review. Because these steps take time, the best thing you can do is contact Freidin Brown, P.A. as soon as you can. We’ll take care of the deadlines and paperwork so you can focus on your health.
You and your staff are simply the best. Jonathan I would like to say I proud of the manner in which you conducted yourself toward my family matter.

Being patient with us. And, most importantly believing in us. Our family will forever have a feeling of gratitude for all that you have done. I have tremendous respect and appreciation for Phil Freidin. He is a powerful and kind lawyer. He has proven to me that he genuinely cares about his clients; however, he is a force to be reckoned with in the conference and court rooms. Jonathan impressed me with his professionalism and expertise! Jonathan and Lizy handled my Medical Malpractice case with skill and secured a favorable outcome! They were responsive and kept me informed throughout my process. I highly recommend them to my Family and Friends! They were not even able to take on my case, but the person who did my intake and the lawyer I spoke to were incredibly validating, kind, and helpful. I appreciated the care and time they gave me even when I did not become a client. Jonathan, Phil, and the rest of the Freidin Brown attorneys were both professional and compassionate. They were always responsive to my family and me, and they have a deep dedication to their clients. I highly recommend the great lawyers at this firm! My experience with Freidin Brown was above my expectations. Philip Freidin took my case and settlement to finish line with amazing results. I highly recommend this Law Firm. Our family was referred to Freidin Brown by another attorney who could not handle our case and from day one we felt like we were in good hands. Johnathan Freidin was always available and willing to answer any questions we had. We are extremely happy with the results of our case and would recommend this team in a heartbeat. Had the pleasure of working with Andrew this year. He was very knowledgeable, but most importantly, he asked questions and listened to truly understand MY needs. Would definitely use this team again.
