We create the strongest future for our clients by securing the best outcomes — no matter the challenge. Founded in 2009, our firm has recovered over $150 million for families harmed by medical negligence in Florida and beyond.
Zayed Law Offices is a boutique trial firm founded in 2009 by Adam J. Zayed. The Miami Medical Malpractice Lawyers practice represents Florida families in catastrophic medical malpractice, birth injury, and wrongful-death matters. The firm has recovered over $150 million for clients and maintains a 99% success rate on accepted cases — a direct function of a deliberately limited active caseload.
Medical malpractice is a specialty, not a sideline. Florida's Chapter 766 imposes procedural hurdles — pre-suit investigation, corroborating expert affidavits, strict statutes of limitations — that sideline non-specialist firms before the case ever reaches discovery. We are built for these cases: dedicated expert networks, a research library of Florida standard-of-care authorities, and a caseload deliberately limited so every file gets the preparation it needs.
Our recoveries reflect that discipline. $150 million recovered. A 99% success rate on accepted cases. Seven-figure settlements across failure-to-diagnose cancer, surgical-error, bile-duct, wrongful-death, and birth-injury matters. And a standing reputation with Florida defense counsel and insurance carriers that lets us negotiate from strength — because they know we try cases, and they know we're prepared to win there.
Founder & Managing Trial Attorney — Zayed Law Offices
Adam J. Zayed is the founder and managing trial attorney of Zayed Law Offices, a nationally-recognized firm representing individuals and families in catastrophic personal injury, medical malpractice, and wrongful-death matters.
Mr. Zayed has recovered more than $150 million for injured clients and has represented plaintiffs in billion-dollar mass-tort litigations. He carefully limits his caseload so every case receives the attention, craft, and strategic development needed to fully articulate each client’s losses — building cases brick by brick through statistics, strategy, and behavioral science.
He has established himself as an industry leader in medical malpractice, surgical error, and high-value injury litigation — handling more of these cases by volume than nearly any single lawyer in the United States.
We build cases brick by brick — through statistics, strategy, and behavioral science.
Four working principles shape every case — from the first call to the final settlement or verdict. They're how we translate preparation into results.
Volume-practice firms take most calls. We take the cases where the standard of care was clearly breached, causation can be proven to a medical certainty, and the damages justify the investment. That gatekeeping is what drives the 99% success rate — not luck.
When we decline a case, we say so honestly and try to refer to a colleague firm that might be a better fit. No false hope, no wasted months.
Every case we accept goes through a full record review and board-certified expert consultation before we serve notice of intent. By the time we formally initiate pre-suit, the theory of liability is already documented, the causation argument is locked, and the damages model is sketched out.
This is the opposite of “file now, figure it out later” — and it's why our cases tend to settle at or near their full valuation when they settle, and tend to hold up at trial when they don't.
We retain independent board-certified specialists in the defendant's exact discipline — pediatric neurologists for cerebral palsy cases, anesthesiologists for anesthesia-error cases, interventional radiologists for delayed-diagnosis cases. Florida's expert-qualification statute (§ 766.102) is strict; our experts meet every element of it and then some.
Clients get direct attorney access — not a paralegal funnel. Status updates at every phase (intake, expert work-up, pre-suit, discovery, mediation, resolution) so you always know where your case stands. No surprises, no disappearing lawyer between calls.

The rest get an honest decline or a referral to the right firm. That's not a talking point — it's the operating principle behind the 99% success rate. Volume-practice firms can't prepare a case the way Florida's Chapter 766 demands; we won't pretend otherwise.
A medical malpractice case isn't a file — it's a multi-year investigation. Records requests, expert retention, depositions, causation reconstruction, damages modeling, trial prep. Do it well on 30 cases at once and the quality bar collapses. Do it well on 8 and the results are what you see on this page.
Our founder made a deliberate choice early: cap the active caseload, charge full contingency, accept only cases where the standard of care was breached and the damages justify the investment. That's the firm's operating principle, and it's non-negotiable.
Zayed Law Offices partners represent clients across Florida, Illinois, and the federal courts. Every partner is a trial attorney — not a negotiator whose case rests on the threat of trial alone.

Common questions about the firm, our team, and how we handle medical malpractice cases in Florida.
The firm was founded in 2009 by Adam J. Zayed and has grown into a multi-office practice recognized nationally for medical malpractice, catastrophic personal injury, and wrongful-death litigation. The Miami Medical Malpractice Lawyers practice is its Florida-focused medical-negligence team.
We are licensed in Florida and Illinois, with our Miami medical malpractice team serving clients throughout the state of Florida. The firm regularly handles cases in federal court and has appeared pro hac vice in other jurisdictions for high-value injury and malpractice matters.
Medical malpractice cases are evidence-heavy and expert-intensive. A case where the standard of care, causation, and damages all require boutique-level preparation cannot be handled on a volume-practice model. Our founder deliberately caps the firm’s active caseload so every client gets the depth of work the case needs.
On cases we accept, our success rate is approximately 99%. That figure reflects both negotiated settlements and jury verdicts — and it is a direct function of which cases we accept. We decline more matters than we take to keep that quality bar intact.
The parent firm (Zayed Law Offices) handles broader catastrophic personal injury, truck-accident, and wrongful-death matters. The Miami Medical Malpractice Lawyers practice is exclusively focused on medical-negligence cases — birth injury, cerebral palsy, anesthesia error, failure to diagnose, wrong diagnosis, surgical error, and related matters.
The firm and its attorneys have been recognized by The National Trial Lawyers (Top 40), Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers in America, Avvo (10.0 Top Attorney rating for founder Adam Zayed), the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and Inc. 5000. Adam Zayed has also been named to Illinois’ 40 Under Forty list and is an ABA Board of Fellows member.
