Yours Is Not the First Medical Malpractice Case Against Arnold Palmer Children’s Hospital

Medical malpractice is a concern even at a hospital where some vulnerable young patients receive treatment. In 2006, the heartbreaking case of a seven-year-old patient occurred. He entered the emergency room at Arnold Palmer Children’s Hospital with a fever, dehydration, and diarrhea, none of which were uncommon ailments for him.

The young boy had been diagnosed with a brain tumor when he was one and left with lingering health issues following his successful cancer treatment. His parents would take him to the emergency room whenever he had a spike in temperature, which would usually be resolved with a simple antibiotic.

Unfortunately, the hospital allegedly did not follow this proven course of treatment, and the patient sadly died.

How Medical Malpractice Happens in Children’s Hospitals

As a parent, you never imagine that when you check your child into a children’s hospital, they might end up worse off than they were before their treatment. You trust medical professionals to do what’s right for your child, but sometimes they fail – often due to preventable errors.

These are some of the medical mistakes that can warrant filing a medical malpractice claim against a children’s hospital in Florida:

• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose: Missing or delaying the diagnosis of conditions like infections, brain injuries, or cancers can lead to worse outcomes that may have been preventable.
• Medication errors: Administering the wrong type or dose of medication can cause severe reactions and harm in small children. In one case, a three-year-old Florida boy died after a medication mistake.
• Surgical mistakes: Preventable surgical errors like damage to organs or leaving foreign objects inside children’s bodies. This may include surgery on the wrong patient or the wrong body part.
• Failure to test or monitor: Not ordering tests when another medical professional would have done so in the same situation or failing to properly monitor vulnerable pediatric patients.
• Discharging too soon: Releasing a child from the hospital before they are medically ready or stable, which can also lead to worse outcomes for the child.
• Poor communication:  Lack of coordination between departments and specialists can lead to oversights in care that can cause serious harm to a pediatric patient.
• Improper equipment: Using adult-sized equipment that is not suited for children or faulty pediatric devices can harm your child by causing injuries and worsening existing conditions.
• Inadequate informed consent: Failing to fully explain procedures, risks, and alternatives prior to a child’s treatment can result in the parent agreeing to a procedure or medication they may have never consented to if they’d been adequately informed.
• Failure to follow up: Neglecting necessary follow-up care, testing, or referrals to specialists after a child is discharged from a children’s hospital can result in new injuries or illnesses and a worse outcome.

Proving negligence and securing fair compensation in these cases is complex. Working with Orlando medical malpractice attorneys who have experience filing claims against children’s hospitals is critical if you want to make sure your rights are protected in Florida.

How Florida’s Laws Impact Your Children’s Hospital Medical Malpractice Claim

Medical malpractice claims in Florida are always complex, but they become even more complicated when the victim of medical negligence is a child. Here’s how Florida’s laws regarding claims where the victim is a minor could affect your case:

Florida’s Statute of Limitations

The statute of limitations is a time limit that allows each state to determine how long you have to file a claim after a personal injury lawsuit. The time limit is often different when the injured party is a child. As such, it’s very important to contact an attorney who specializes in medical malpractice so they can assess the facts of your case and determine the statute of limitations for your child’s particular case.

Settlement and Guardianship Laws

In Florida, parents will need to go through guardianship proceedings if a settlement will exceed $15,000. This allows the court to appoint you to receive funds on behalf of your child, who is not legally capable of doing so under state law. The purpose of the guardianship hearing is to make sure any settlement or award is used in your child’s best interests. At Freidin Brown, P.A., we assist with every aspect of this process.
