What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice is a broad area of law that involves mistakes, among other things, made in the course of medical procedures. This often involves surgery but can cover a variety of other circumstances, such as:
- Misdiagnosis, or failure to diagnose a medical condition in a timely manner
- Prescribing wrong medications, causing harmful side effects or overdose
- Over-prescribing drugs and helping cause a harmful addiction
- Waiting too long or failing to perform a circumstantially necessary medical procedure, such as a C-section
- Failing to follow proper medical hygiene procedures, leading to dangerous infections
- Failure to monitor patients
This list isn’t exhaustive. Whether you’re going under the knife or not, if you leave a medical professional feeling worse than you started, and think they might be the one to blame, contacting an attorney could mean getting the help you need.
Why is it Important?
Medical malpractice is a section of the legal field that is highly complex, because of the interplay between medical and legal concepts. Statutes pertaining to medical malpractice are constantly changing and expanding.
Florida state law also imposes special procedural requirements on medical malpractice claims in an effort to discourage these kinds of claims and encourage settlement before trial.
Our attorneys comb through medical records to get the most accurate depiction possible of what occurred. These records are reviewed by medical professionals to determine their importance in relation to the case.They could hold any information that can help get you compensation, such as evidence of a breach of a duty of care.
