Types of Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle
Medical malpractice can manifest in countless ways. If you suspect negligence – whether from a doctor, nurse, or hospital – even if it doesn’t fit neatly into these categories, reach out for a free consultation. Our practice areas include:
- Surgical Errors: Operating on the wrong body part, leaving instruments inside a patient, or other avoidable mistakes during a medical procedure that lead to catastrophic harm.
- Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failing to promptly identify conditions like cancer or heart disease, turning treatable issues into permanent disabilities or wrongful death.
- Birth Injuries: Errors during labor or delivery causing conditions like cerebral palsy, brachial plexus injuries, or brain injury, turning a joyous occasion into lifelong heartache for families.
- Medication Errors: Administering the wrong drug, incorrect dosages, or ignoring interactions, with severe or fatal repercussions.
- Anesthesia Errors: Mistakes in administration, monitoring, or dosage leading to brain damage, comas, or death.
- Hospital Negligence: Systemic failures like inadequate staffing, poor hygiene causing infections, or equipment issues, often involving nursing homes or emergency rooms.
As personal injury lawyers, we also handle related claims like wrongful death, as well as other cases such as car accident injuries stemming from negligent medical care post-incident or errors during follow-up medical procedures.
Understanding Medical Malpractice in Florida
Florida has specific, often complex, laws governing medical malpractice claims. Understanding these nuances is crucial for building a strong case, and our years of experience ensure we navigate them effectively for victims of medical malpractice.
- Statute of Limitations: You generally have two years from the incident or discovery to file, with a strict four-year absolute deadline (statute of repose), except in cases of fraud. Missing this can bar your claim, so act quickly.
- What Constitutes Medical Malpractice?:. It occurs when a healthcare professional or medical provider deviates from the standard of care – what a reasonably competent medical provider would do under similar circumstances – causing harm. Proving this requires expert testimony from medical professionals, which we secure through our network.
