Fadi Chakour is a medical doctor who left the practice of medicine for the practice of law. His expertise in the anatomical and pathophysiological conditions which can result in stroke give Fadi a tremendous advantage in evaluating and prosecuting stroke cases. Equally important is his ability to prove that the stroke was caused by medical negligence and disprove defense theories that the stroke was the result of natural disease processes. Additionally, his medical training and experience enable Fadi to determine whether the client’s neurological disabilities and deficits correlate to the stroke at issue. Fadi also brings his prior experience at one of Florida’s largest and most respected defense firms, where he represented health care professionals, hospitals, and their insurance carriers in medical malpractice cases.
