In other words, their negligent care and treatment caused an injury to the patient. To this text: medical malpractice is a leading cause of death and serious injury in the United States. Medical malpractice claims arise when a health care provider provides medical care and treatment that is below the standard of care. In other words, their negligent care and treatment caused an injury to the patient.
There are a number of ways that health care providers’ care and treatment can fall below the standard of care. Some common examples of medical malpractice include:
Once we have determined and proven that a health care provider deviated from the accepted standard of care, we must also prove that the negligence was the direct and proximate cause of the injuries and that the patient suffered damages as a result of those injuries.
Medical malpractice litigation is an extremely technical, nuanced and complicated area of law, which requires multiple expert witnesses to prove not only the negligence but the damages as well. You may be entitled to recover for past and future medical expenses, past and future lost wages and/or loss of earning capacity, and pain and suffering.
If you or someone you know has suffered injuries as a result of medical malpractice, it is imperative to act quickly as there is a deadline, called the statute of limitations, for filing these claims. Under Florida law, medical malpractice actions must be filed within two (2) years from when the malpractice occurs, subject to some exceptions.
