When medical professionals fail to provide the standard of care expected in their field, patients can suffer severe and life-altering injuries.

Understanding Medical Malpractice in Florida

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider’s negligence leads to patient harm. This negligence can manifest in various forms, including:

  • – Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failing to accurately diagnose a condition, resulting in delayed or incorrect treatment.​
  • – Surgical Errors: Performing the wrong procedure, operating on the wrong site, or leaving surgical instruments inside the patient.​
  • – Medication Mistakes: Prescribing or administering incorrect medications or dosages.​
  • – Birth Injuries: Harm to a newborn or mother due to negligent prenatal care or errors during delivery.​
  • – Anesthesia Errors: Administering too much or too little anesthesia, leading to complications or awareness during surgery.​

In Florida, to establish a medical malpractice claim, you must demonstrate that the healthcare provider breached the standard of care and that this breach directly caused your injury. ​
