When Medical Care Causes More Harm Than Healing
Patients trust doctors, hospitals, and medical providers to deliver safe and competent care. When preventable mistakes happen, the results can be devastating. In Fort Lauderdale, victims of medical malpractice may be left facing worsened health, additional procedures, lost income, and the painful reality that their injury may have been avoidable.
Florida law allows patients to pursue claims for medical negligence, but these cases are among the most complex in personal injury law. Providers and hospitals often deny wrongdoing, medical records must be carefully reviewed, and strict procedural rules apply before a case can move forward. Detailed medical evidence and experienced legal guidance are often critical.

Common Types of Medical Malpractice
Sadly, medical errors are common. In fact, they are the third leading cause of death in this country, according a 2016 study by Johns Hopkins. Some of the more common types of medical errors that constitute as medical malpractice include:
Anaesthesia Errors: A failure to review a patient’s medical chart for possible allergies and complications, failure to monitor vital signs, or neglecting to tell patients about the risks of eating and drinking before procedures.
Emergency Room Errors: Errors that occur due to negligence, inadequate exchange of information during shift changes, and other mistakes may result in the medical professional being liable for damages.
Misdiagnosis: Incorrect or delayed diagnosis by a physician may result in incorrect or unnecessary treatment. This can put the patient at risk of injury or even death. Diagnostic errors are a factor in the majority of medical malpractice cases.
Postoperative Negligence: Failure to monitor a patient appropriately after an operation can result in serious infections and injuries. Doctors must provide proper care and instructions, following all surgical procedures in order to keep patients safe.
What Compensation Could I Recover?
Economic Damages: Patients may be awarded compensation for their medical bills and lost wages while out of work. In some cases, the victim may be awarded damages for a loss of earning capacity if they are unable to return to work due to their injuries.
Noneconomic Damages: Patients in Fort Lauderdale may be awarded for their pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of consortium, and other non-fiscal losses. Some patients may also be awarded compensation for disfigurement that occurred as a result of the medical error.
