REHAB MALPRACTICE LAW
Who we are
Florida's Leading Advocates for Rehab Malpractice Survivors
We're Recovery Community Advocates Fighting for Change.
We're not a general personal injury firm that occasionally handles a rehab case. This is our specialty, our mission, and our lived experience.
UNMATCHED KNOWLEDGE of FLORIDA'S TREATMENT INDUSTRY
While other attorneys dabble in rehab cases, we've made it our sole focus. We know the regulatory framework, including:
✓ State licensing requirements
✓ CARF accreditation standards
✓ DCF oversight
✓ AHCA compliance
✓ Clinical standards such as proper detox protocols, supervision requirements, MAT protocols
✓ Common negligence patterns like inadequate staffing, unlicensed staff, patient brokering schemes, and inappropriate supervision
We've litigated every type of rehab negligence case—and won.
