Manuel A. “Alex” Arteaga-Gomez — Coral Gables Personal Injury & Medical Malpractice Lawyer

When a serious injury turns life upside down, you need a lawyer who’s been in the trenches—trial, appeal, and everything in between. Manuel A. “Alex” Arteaga-Gomez, a Partner at Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen, P.A. in Coral Gables, represents people and families in personal injury, medical malpractice, product liability, and mass-tort matters across Florida.

Here’s the short version: Alex blends sharp courtroom skills with steady, practical guidance. He’s tried 15+ jury trials in multiple jurisdictions, argued before state and federal appellate courts, and represented clients in matters reaching the U.S. Supreme Court. Before focusing on plaintiff-side work, he served as an Assistant Federal Public Defender and practiced at nationally known firms—experience that helps him pressure-test evidence, anticipate defense tactics, and tell a clean, convincing story to judges, juries, and insurers.

His work includes representing victims of some of Florida’s most high-profile tragedies—the Hollywood Hills nursing home mass-casualty (2017), the FIU pedestrian bridge collapse (2018), the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting (2018), and the Champlain Towers South collapse (2021). In complex cases like these, details matter: expert selection, medical proof, liability theories, and damages models. Alex and the GRYC team handle the heavy lifting so clients can focus on healing.

Recognized by The Best Lawyers in America® for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs, Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs, and Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs, Alex has also been a two-time finalist for the Miami Daily Business Review’s “Most Effective Lawyers” and appears in Super Lawyers®. He serves on the Board of Directors of the Florida Justice Association and remains active in the AAJ and Federal Bar Association.

If you or a loved one suffered harm due to negligence—whether from medical errors, dangerous products, or catastrophic crashes—reach out to discuss your options. Straight talk, meticulous preparation, and a strategy built around results—that’s the brief.
