Representing hospitals, physicians, nurses, home health agencies, and other medical professionals, we focus on early intervention and efficient claims resolution, often through mediation, and are fully prepared to take cases to jury trial when necessary. With attorneys admitted in all levels of Florida's state and federal courts, clients benefit from comprehensive and coordinated defense, from pre-suit through appeal.

The team also brings more than two decades of specialized experience in maritime medical malpractice, particularly in the cruise industry. GrayRobinson’s medical malpractice attorneys advise cruise lines and shipboard medical providers on high-stakes, often international claims. The team provides real-time counsel during onboard medical emergencies, including at-sea evacuations, and conducts post-incident investigations. They have developed jurisdictional defenses for foreign medical professionals facing U.S.-based claims, including those involving catastrophic injury and wrongful death.
