What Constitutes Medical Malpractice In Florida?

• Surgical errors: Medical professionals may perform the incorrect procedure or leave foreign objects behind, and we aim to hold them responsible for such negligence.
• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose: This can occur with many conditions, but we often see clients with misdiagnosed cancers or strokes, and this can prove to be fatal.
• Medication errors: Giving a patient the wrong medication or the wrong dosage can be quite serious, resulting in severe reactions and even death. Some medications could even make an existing illness or condition worse.
• Birth injuries: Babies and their parents deserve the best care and attention, but negligent doctors, nurses, and other professionals could mean a lifetime of pain or expenses.
• Anesthesia errors: Anesthesia is an important aspect of medicine, but careless medical professionals who fail to uphold the standard of care can kill or severely hurt patients who put their trust in the wrong hands.
• Failure to obtain informed consent: This type of malpractice could mean that the hospital employees did not fully inform you of the risks of the surgery or treatment.
• Negligent post-operative care: Hospital and professional negligence can happen even after an operation. Sepsis and other conditions could be signs of post-surgery errors.

It’s important to note that medical malpractice cases can be highly complex, and establishing each of these elements requires a thorough investigation, expert testimony, and strong legal representation.
