Morgan & Morgan

  • What is Medical Malpractice?

    Those under the care of a healthcare provider (e.g., doctors, nurses, hospitals, anesthesiologists, dentists, etc.) are owed a certain level of care by that professional. This responsibility, or duty of care, helps to ensure the safety and well-being of patients throughout the state of Florida. If a doctor or healthcare professional deviates from accepted practices and an injury results, they may be held accountable through a medical malpractice lawsuit.

    For example, one physician orders a test to rule out a medical disorder, as this is a routine diagnostic practice. A doctor in a similar situation fails to order this test because he or she does not believe it is necessary or does not realize it is crucial and, as a result, misses the diagnosis. If the patient treated by the second doctor is harmed, the physician may be liable for any resulting damages.

    It is important to understand that a bad outcome of a surgery, procedure, or visit to a healthcare professional does not automatically entitle the injured party to legal recourse. To have a viable medical malpractice claim, the patient must sustain an injury and the healthcare provider’s negligence must have been the cause of that injury.

    To prove medical negligence, your attorney will show that your physician breached their duty of care to you through some act or omission, that you sustained an injury, and that the breach was the cause of your injury.

    Examples of medical malpractice may include:

    • Failure to diagnose
    • Charting errors
    • Pre- or post-care errors
    • Medication errors
    • Operating without consent
    • Failure to use sterile instruments
    • Misuse of medical tools
  • Proving Your Malpractice Case

    One of the most crucial aspects of your medical malpractice lawsuit will be your attorney’s ability to prove a causal link between the doctor’s negligence and your injury.

    To determine this link, your attorney will need to:

    • Understand the area of medicine under which your case falls
    • Determine whether your injury is one typically sustained in similar situations
    • Review the physician’s treatment plan
    • Understand how to decipher medical documents
    • Carefully analyze the details of the procedure or act that allegedly caused your injury
    • Work with to expert medical professionals to help re-create and analyze the incident in which your injury was inflicted

    Your attorney can then begin to illustrate how the negligent act directly caused your injury and why your healthcare provider should be responsible for your losses.

  • Who Is Liable for My Injuries?

    A number of parties may be liable for your injuries, including your doctor, physician or nurse; the medical staff involved in your procedure; or the hospital or private practice that hires and employs the allegedly negligent medical professional. Pharmacists, anesthesiologists, and manufacturers of materials or tools used during your procedure may also be liable in a medical malpractice case.

  • How Much is My Case Worth?

    Each medical malpractice case is unique. The amount of compensation you may be able to recover will depend on:

    • The facts specific to your case
    • The area of medical practice related to your injury
    • The significance of your injury
    • The severity of the healthcare professional’s breach
    • Your attorney’s ability to illustrate the causal link between the negligent act and your injury

    If you or a loved one has been injured while under the care of a doctor, dentist, surgeon, obstetrician or other healthcare professional in the Daytona Beach area, you may be able to receive compensation. To find out if you have a case, please complete our free case review form today.
