Why Trust Us With Your Premature Discharge Case?

Medical malpractice cases are very complicated. It is not a good idea to put your case in the hands of a general personal injury firm, as they may not have the experience or the knowledge to handle this type of situation.

Freidin Brown, P.A. has extensive experience with medical malpractice cases. As our case results show, our clients can trust us to:

Provide the Necessary Attention to Their Miami Case

We combine the personalized attention of a small firm with the power and resources of a big firm. While other offices take on as many clients as possible, our attorneys accept a smaller number of more significant cases so we can devote plenty of care and attention to each client.

At least two of our attorneys will work on planning your legal strategy. Whenever you want advice, updates, or suggestions, we welcome your call and the opportunity to provide helpful and actionable information.

Build the Strongest Possible Premature Discharge Case

It is very unlikely that the insurance company or hospital will give you a fair settlement without a fight. To get maximum compensation, you need to prove you deserve that money. Our legal team collects evidence from:

• Medical experts: We consult with top medical experts who conduct medical examinations and write reports that corroborate the severity and nature of your injuries.
• Medical records: You need to establish that your injuries occurred as a direct result of your premature discharge. Your medical history can show what treatments you received (or did not receive), when you were discharged, and when your injury symptoms started. They also provide important information regarding communications (or lack thereof) between the healthcare team.
• Hospital records: Not only can these records confirm the length of and reason for your stay, they can also show if the doctors at this facility have a history of releasing patients before they are ready—and if anyone else has complained about their treatment.

Negotiate a Medical Malpractice Settlement

Your doctor (or other health professional) should not get away with neglecting and causing damage to your health. The best way to hold them accountable is to get them to reimburse you for your losses. Our Miami premature discharge attorney can work hard to do this by:

• Arranging times and places to meet with the hospital’s or insurer’s representatives
• Negotiating to settle for the full value of your claim, no matter how hard they fight your case
• Preparing the settlement agreement once negotiations end

Fight for Clients in Miami Courthouses

Our team includes Board-Certified trial lawyers, so we are more than qualified to bring medical malpractice cases to trial and pursue a jury verdict. To prepare for court, we:

• File the paperwork necessary to get your case started
• Participate in jury selection using trial-tested techniques
• Submit trial exhibits (evidence) to the court
• Find and prepare witnesses to testify on your behalf
• Utilize the newest courtroom technology to put on our case
• Make legal arguments to the judge
• Persuade the jury to find in our favor

Once the client’s trial date arrives, it is our job to present their case in the courtroom and persuade the jury to make a decision that favors our client.

Premature Discharge Compensation and How it Helps You

The fact that your doctor carelessly released you before you were ready has had a major impact on your life that may include:

• Being unable to go back to work as soon as you planned, meaning that you will miss out on even more income and job benefits
• Having to spend extra money on medical care to address the new or worsened injuries you developed as a result of the malpractice
• Travel expenses incurred during medical treatment, if you had to visit doctors far away from home
• Having to hire other people to handle your household responsibilities because you are no longer able to care for yourself or others
• Increased physical and emotional suffering caused by the premature discharge
• Disabling injuries that prevent you from doing the things you need or want to do
• Permanent scars or marks resulting from discharge-related injuries and/or the care you needed to treat them

Seeking Maximum Compensation After a Premature Discharge

All of the damages listed above—and more —may be available to you as a medical malpractice victim. Freidin Brown, P.A. wants to seek the maximum amount of compensation available to you. We know how much your family needs this money, and the settlement or award we win for you can:

What You Should Know About Premature Discharge Cases in Miami

You will get the chance to ask all of your legal questions when you consult with Freidin Brown, P.A. In the meantime, here are the answers to basic questions that our clients often ask:

What Is a Premature Hospital Discharge?

Premature discharge is a form of medical and/or hospital negligence. It involves telling a patient that they can safely leave a hospital or other facility, even though the doctor knows (or should know) that they are not ready. A premature discharge can happen when:

• Hospital policy encourages or pushes doctors to discharge patients faster than they should be
• A doctor misdiagnoses a patient’s condition
• A doctor fails to do proper follow-up treatment and believes the patient to be well on the road to recovery when they are not
• A doctor dismisses the patient’s concerns and insists they can go home
• There is miscommunication between the patient’s providers, leading one or more of them to falsely believe the patient should be discharged

Who Can You Sue for Premature Discharge in Miami?

That depends on who ordered your discharge and why. Every premature discharge case is different, which is why Freidin Brown, P.A. is so diligent about investigating each client’s case before identifying the liable party or parties. Potential targets of your legal action may include:

• Your doctor: This is the person who took charge of your care and is responsible for your wellbeing. Through careless slip ups or deliberate neglect, doctors sometimes discharge patients before it is safe to do so.
• Nursing staff: The nurses involved in your care are supposed to be the eyes and ears of the doctors. If they don’t accurately report your condition to the doctor, there can be serious consequences. They also are responsible for properly carrying out doctors’ orders, which can have devastating results if not done.
• The medical facility: The people running the facility set standard operating procedures, including the procedure for discharging patients. A policy that favors quick turnarounds and speedy examinations can increase the chance of premature discharge.
• More than one of the above: In some cases, multiple parties were negligent, so you can name multiple parties in your lawsuit.

What Is the Average Medical Malpractice Settlement in Florida?

“Average” settlements do not exist in medical malpractice cases (or in any other type of personal injury case). The settlement you ask for should reflect your specific losses. We start from scratch with each client, collecting evidence and running calculations to make sure they get exactly what they need for:

• The suffering and losses they have already endured
• The pain and financial stress they are still going through today
• The chronic health and monetary problems they will experience in the future

What Is Florida’s Statute of Limitations for Medical Malpractice Cases?

In general, you have two years to bring a case, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11 (4)(c). There may be some exceptions to this rule that lengthen or shorten the amount of time you have to file. Determining the statute of limitations in your particular case requires a careful analysis that must be done by an experienced medical malpractice lawyer.

To make sure you do not miss any deadlines and that you take full advantage of your rights, you can talk to Freidin Brown, P.A. about your case today.
