Louiza Tarassova is a Florida trial attorney and the founder of a boutique law firm dedicated exclusively to representing victims of cosmetic-procedure injuries. Recognized statewide for her deep knowledge of the cosmetic-medicine industry, Ms. Tarassova has built a practice at the intersection of medical malpractice and personal injury with a unique focus on med-spa negligence, laser burns, CoolSculpting injuries, nerve damage, and surgical complications arising from elective aesthetic procedures.
Ms. Tarassova is known for handling complex cases involving unlicensed practice of medicine, scope-of-practice violations, unsafe med-spa environments, and failures of informed consent. She regularly litigates against high-volume medical spas, dermatology clinics, and cosmetic surgery centers, and has developed a reputation for uncovering regulatory violations, systemic safety failures, and fraudulent business practices within the aesthetic industry.
Over the course of her career, Ms. Tarassova has represented clients in high-stakes cases involving disfiguring injuries, nerve damage, infections, surgical errors, retained foreign bodies, and catastrophic outcomes following elective surgery. She has successfully challenged arbitration clauses, prevailed in presuit medical-malpractice disputes under Chapter 766, and secured significant settlements for clients harmed by negligent cosmetic providers.
Her work has been highlighted in news stories covering the dangers of poorly regulated med spas, and she is frequently sought out for her ability to translate highly technical medical concepts into clear, persuasive narratives for judges, juries, mediators, and the public. Through her writing, speaking, and social-media presence, Ms. Tarassova aims to raise awareness about patient safety in the booming cosmetic-procedure market and to advocate for stronger consumer protections.
Throughout her career as a litigation attorney, Louiza has had the pleasure and privilege of representing the interests of people against giant corporations and insurance companies. Her range of experience includes complex medical device litigation, multi-party construction litigation, class actions, high-stake settlement negotiations, and jury trials. Louiza’s approach to litigation is unique to every case. She has successfully used a variety of individualized litigation strategies to obtain high recoveries for her clients.
