Meeting with Dean Pascal Goldschmidt to discuss a botched surgery case.
We analyzed and discussed whether a surgeon committed malpractice.
In Florida, a plaintiff in a medical malpractice lawsuit can generally recover three categories of damages: (1) economic, (2) non-economic, and, in limited cases, (3) punitive damages.
1. Economic Damages (Compensatory for Financial Losses)

These are measurable, out-of-pocket expenses caused by the malpractice. They can include:
• Past and future medical expenses (hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, medications, nursing care, etc.)
• Lost wages (income lost due to time away from work)
• Loss of future earning capacity (if the injury prevents the plaintiff from returning to their prior work or reduces earning ability)
• Other financial costs directly related to the malpractice (e.g., home modifications, medical equipment, in-home care).
2. Non-Economic Damages (Intangible Losses)

These compensate for harm that doesn’t have a direct dollar value, such as:
• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish and emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Disfigurement or disability
• Loss of companionship and consortium (for a spouse or family in wrongful death cases).
3. Punitive Damages (Rare)
• Awarded only in cases of gross negligence, reckless disregard for patient safety, or intentional misconduct.
• Florida law requires clear and convincing evidence that the provider’s conduct went beyond ordinary negligence.
• These damages are intended to punish and deter egregious behavior, not compensate the victim.

Discussing the environmental concerns of Miami's future with the Mayor. 🌎💚
I was thrilled to engage in a dialogue with the honorable Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. We discussed flooding in the city of Miami and the federal government's involvement in some upcoming solutions. 🏙️🌧️
I was born and raised in Miami and I feel a civic duty to at least attempt to make a microscopic difference.
We are in the spotlight, and Miami will be an example to the world. It will either be an example of a huge failed city that fell into the ocean, or of a successful city that used science, resilience, and tenacity to overcome the challenges of flooding. 🏝️🌇🌊
We don't need a small group fighting for the environment perfectly, we need everyone doing it imperfectly. 🫶🏼💚🌎
Remember we only get one earth! Lets leave a better world than we found. 🙏🏼
PS, huge thanks to for all you do! 👏👏

Say what you will but that is one beautiful city. 🌴🌇🛩

Just planted 1,000 Trees! 🌴🌳🌴🌳🌎💚
Here's how it works. Everytime I close a real estate deal I will donate a portion of the proceeds to the environment! 🌎💚
Additionally, I already have one deal in the pipeline to build a park in South Dade! Stay tuned for more on that.
