Chris Schroeder, Esq.

Reviewing Attorney

Chris Schroeder, Esq.

A Florida Bar attorney since 2001 with more than two decades in catastrophic injury and medical malpractice litigation. Chris reviews the legal information published on Case Justice so that what you read here reflects how these cases actually work in Florida.

About Chris

Chris Schroeder has spent his career on the plaintiff’s side of serious injury cases — the kind where the harm is permanent, the medical record runs to thousands of pages, and the difference between a fair recovery and an inadequate one shapes a family’s finances for decades.

He earned his Juris Doctor from Florida State University College of Law in 2001, after an undergraduate degree in accounting from the University of Central Florida. That accounting background is more useful in injury litigation than it sounds: valuing a catastrophic claim means projecting a lifetime of medical costs, lost earning capacity, and care needs, and then defending those numbers against opposing experts.

He was admitted to The Florida Bar in 2001 and to the District of Columbia Bar in 2013. He practices at The Schroeder Firm.

Focus areas

Chris’s litigation experience centres on medical negligence and catastrophic harm:

  • Birth injury and obstetric negligence, including hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)
  • Cerebral palsy malpractice claims
  • Brachial plexus and Erb’s palsy claims
  • Medical malpractice generally, including statute of limitations analysis
  • Catastrophic injury and lifelong care planning

His role on this site

Case Justice is a matching service: it connects injured people with independent attorneys licensed in the state where the claim arose. Chris is the attorney responsible for reviewing the legal information published here — the explanations of Florida deadlines, liability rules, damages, and claim procedure.

Being listed as reviewer means he has checked a page for legal accuracy as of the review date shown on it. It does not mean he is the attorney who will handle your case, and reading this site does not make him your lawyer. The attorney assigned to a given claim is selected for that claim’s subject matter and location.
