Common Medical Errors in Miami Hospitals

Hospital negligence can take many forms. Some common medical errors that result in hospital-related injuries include:

• Surgical errors. Many incidents and actions can fall under the category of surgical error. For example, medical staff may have performed the wrong procedure or left an item in your body after the surgery.
• Failure to diagnose and treat a condition. Doctors may fail to identify a problem, or they may not do so in a timely manner. This can mean that you don’t receive adequate care, and it can make your condition worse.
• Understaffing. Whether there are not enough nurses on the patient floor or too few medical personnel staffing an emergency room, failing to provide enough competent medical professionals can lead to delays in treatment and emergency response times.
• Infections. An infection you acquire in a hospital may include a central or arterial line infection, pneumonia, MRSA, urinary tract infection, or an infection at the site of a surgical procedure. The failure to recognize or treat an infection in a timely manner can have serious consequences for a patient.
• Communication errors. Our firm understands the importance of communication. Hospital employees and contractors must understand the potentially life-saving value of strong communication. When the nurses fail to properly communicate with the doctors, patients like you suffer.
• Premature hospital discharge. Patients may be discharged from a hospital or emergency room before they are stable or given adequate follow-up care instructions. Hospitals and medical staff have a duty to these patients, and premature release could indicate negligent care.
• Negligent hiring practices. Hospitals must do their due diligence when hiring doctors, nurses, and other medical providers. When these facilities have negligent hiring practices and do not verify licenses, legal history, and other factors, patients pay the consequences of this neglect.

Our Hospital Error Lawyers Will Fight for What You Deserve

The cost of medical care is already a challenge for many Miami residents, but the cost of a hospital error can be devastating. That’s why our hospital negligence lawyers are determined to fight for compensation that will help ease your financial burden.

Our lawyers know that every case is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach at Freidin Brown, P.A. With our personalized approach, we make sure to review every case to determine what damages you can seek. For a hospital error case, we may seek compensation for:

Medical Bills

Medical expenses are often the most significant damages for hospital error victims. Your bills can quickly add up, and you may have a long road to recovery ahead of you. Our personal injury lawyers will make sure all current and future medical costs are part of any settlement or judgment offered to you. We can seek recovery for expenses like:

• Surgery, especially if you need multiple procedures to address your issues
• Physical therapy and rehabilitation
• Any medication expenses you might have
• Mental health services
• Hospital stays
• Emergency room expenses and ambulance costs
• Medical devices and assistive equipment, like wheelchairs, mobility scooters, crutches, and prosthetics.
• In-home medical care if you need short- or long-term assistance after your injuries

When you can, keep invoices, receipts, and bills to help detail the full extent of your medical expenses. Our firm can draw on these and other medical records and expert testimonies to get an idea of current and projected expenses.

Lost Income and Earning Potential

If your injuries prevent you from working, our team can make sure you are fairly compensated for any form of lost income. If your injuries are so severe that they impact your long-term ability to work in your previous role or field, we can help you get damages for any lost earning potential. This can address benefits or money you could have earned had you stayed in your previous line of work.

Emotional Damages, Including Pain and Suffering

Victims of medical malpractice and other injury cases may have losses that are not just financial. Medical malpractice and hospital errors can leave victims with trauma and other emotional or mental concerns. Although these losses are intangible and do not have an obvious monetary value, we can still make sure you are compensated for these losses.

Loss of Consortium

Loss of consortium refers to the harm done to a relationship with your spouse and other loved ones. Your injuries may make it difficult to connect emotionally and physically with your partner and hurt your ability to maintain your relationship with your loved ones. The damage from hospital errors can be lifelong, and you deserve compensation for this harm.

While this is not a full list of your possible damages, our lawyers can fight for these and other losses. We know what it takes to hold hospitals liable for their negligence, and we will fight for you like we would for our own family members.
