The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) determined that the average settlement for medical malpractice was $329,565 from 1992–2014. However, this figure is only a rough indication of what a medical malpractice case could be worth. Some settlements are significantly lower, while others amount to millions of dollars. What you can recover can depend on various factors, including:

• The nature and scope of your injuries
• Your financial damages such as medical bills and wage loss
• Strong evidence of the medical provider’s negligence 

If failure to diagnose caused permanent or life-changing injuries, a settlement amount should reflect this. 

Knowing what your case is worth can be tricky, and victims can underestimate the amount of their damages and future expected expenses. Our failure to diagnose lawyers in Orlando can assist you with assessing the value of your claim.  

There are time limits for filing a medical malpractice lawsuit in Florida. According to Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(a), patients have two years to file suit. The time starts running down when the medical malpractice was discovered or should have been detected. However, the time limit for your claim could vary depending on the facts of your case. Therefore, it can be a good idea to consult with an attorney as soon as possible. If you file your lawsuit after the statute of limitations has passed, you could be prohibited from seeking compensation and holding the responsible party accountable.

Most victims assume that they can only sue their doctor. However, any medical professional could be held accountable for failure to diagnose. In some cases, you could also sue a medical institution, such as a hospital or urgent care center. Potential defendants in a medical malpractice claim can include:  

• Nurses
• Assistants
• Dentists
• Doctors
• Surgeons
• Anesthetists
• Hospitals 

Technically, you do not require a lawyer to file a lawsuit. However, medical malpractice claims can be complicated, lengthy, and expensive to litigate. Several medical witnesses may be required to testify on the victim’s behalf. Moreover, such claims often deal with complex medical and legal issues that can be challenging for an experienced lawyer, let alone a layperson. Therefore, it is highly advisable to consult with an attorney before filing a medical malpractice lawsuit. 

Our malpractice lawyers can advise you comprehensively, determine whether you have a case, and move forward with a legal claim. We want you to have the best chance at getting what you deserve. When working with Morgan & Morgan, you don’t pay a dime unless and until we win and you recover compensation. 

A late or misdiagnosis can turn your whole life upside down and cause physical, emotional, and financial misery. However, when a doctor or other medical professional makes a mistake, you should not have to pay for the consequences.
