The world of medical malpractice is complex. So, too, are Florida’s requirements for injured victims who wish to bring a case against a medical professional they believe to have been negligent against them. An experienced, qualified medical malpractice attorney has the skills it takes to navigate the state’s often complicated system.
There are many types of medical malpractice and they all can be devastating. Medical malpractice categories include:
It’s important to keep in mind that medical malpractice is not necessarily caused by malicious intent.
When it comes to medical malpractice, the duty of care a medical professional owes to a patient is much higher than the one people typically owe to each other. Doctors have a contractual duty to provide you with appropriate care. If a doctor’s careless actions (or inactions) cause you or someone you love harm, medical malpractice may have occurred.
To prove breach of duty in Florida, you must show that a medical professional owed you a high level of care, they breached that duty either negligently or intentionally, you experienced physical and/or financial harm because of it, and the harm was a direct result of the breach. To do so requires collecting sufficient evidence to convince the court a breach of duty of care occurred.
