Even if you are generally aware of statistics regarding heart attack, medically termed atrial myocardial infarction (AMI), you would probably be shocked to learn about their alarming frequency. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveals that someone has a heart attack every 40 seconds in the US, amounting to around 805,000 individuals every year. The good news is that 90 percent of the people who suffer an AMI will survive with proper diagnosis and treatment.

However, the downside is that far too many health care providers fail to detect a heart attack or provide quality care, leading to devastating harm for the patient. Florida law does provide you with rights through a medical malpractice claim, and our lawyers at Freidin Brown, P.A. can assist with the legal process. Please contact our firm to set up a no-cost case evaluation with a Miami heart attack malpractice lawyer, and read on for some basic information about these cases.

Liability for Heart Attack Malpractice Claims

Florida law requires health care providers to conform to a legal standard of care when providing treatment for any medical condition, including AMI. You may be eligible for compensation if you can prove that a physician deviated breached the duty of care in making medical decisions regarding heart attack. The standard is measured by what a practitioner in a similar medical field would have provided under the same or similar circumstances.

How Health Care Providers Make Errors in Heart Attack Care

To better demonstrate liability for heart attack malpractice, some examples may be useful. This form of malpractice typically occurs in the context of two scenarios:

  1. The health care provider fails to diagnose AMI, such as by not recognizing the symptoms, failing to order proper lab screenings, or diagnosing the heart attack as some other medical condition.
  2. The physician implements an improper treatment plan after diagnosing AMI, often through a failure to carefully review patient charts. This may lead the doctor to administer drugs that the patient is allergic to or which interact with other medications the patient is taking.
