Bonnie Navin
About
Many of Bonnie Navin’s clients describe her as a “fearless and effective advocate for people with personal injury and professional malpractice cases, including those involving complex instances of medical malpractice.”
Bonnie is a December 2000 graduate of Nova Southeastern University, Shepard Broad College of Law, where she founded the Law School Advisors Program. She was also a member of three moot court competitive travel teams, academic editor of the Moot Court, the co-editor of the International Travel Law Journal, and Executive Editor of the International & Comparative Law Journal. All of which she accomplished while attending law school at night and working a full-time position in the healthcare industry.
Prior to becoming a lawyer, Bonnie held management positions at major HMOs and insurance companies, worked as a Risk Manager to the cruise industry with a focus on crew claims and maritime acquisitions, and served as Vice President of South Florida Operations for a Florida-based commercial HMO. She is a member of the Florida Bar and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District, Northern District, and Middle District of Florida. She is also a member of the Broward Bar Association, Women’s Auxiliary of the Veterans of Foreign War, and the Women’s Auxiliary of the American Legion.
Prior to representing injured parties, Bonnie represented private and public hospitals, healthcare entities, pharmacies, nursing homes, physicians and dentists, and cruise lines for ten (10) years. In doing so she obtained a wealth of knowledge on the inner workings of such companies that benefit her current clients.
In her quest to seek justice for her clients, Bonnie has secured many multi-million dollar verdicts in medical malpractice cases in courts throughout Florida. The Daily Business Review named her the most effective medical malpractice lawyer in 2013 for a $38.5 million dollar verdict and one of the most effective lawyers of 2016 in the area of medical malpractice by the Daily Business Review for a $4.3 million dollar arbitration award. Just in 2017 she co-chaired a record five (5) malpractice trials in Key West, Naples, Broward, Palm Beach, and Gainesville. She has formed trust and relationships with many insurers and hospitals to bring an early resolution to complex medical malpractice matters so that injured clients may move forward in their lives.
Bonnie believes her diverse background has contributed to great success in a variety of litigation cases. She has tried a number of complex arbitrations and complex medical cases on behalf of clients and has provided advice to physicians and medical institutions. She also handles cases involving medical and dental malpractice, wrongful death, nursing home litigation, pharmaceutical misfills, products liability litigation, and equine law (personal injury and commercial business).
Bonnie believes her unique talents give her and her team the upper hand in malpractice cases focused on finding systematic errors in the delivery of healthcare that lead to the injured persons’ damages.
