Pursuing Claims Against Doctors, Hospitals and Other Providers
Doctors and other medical professionals are trained to follow specific standards whenever they are treating patients. When they violate those standards, they can be held liable for medical malpractice. Our firm handles cases involving malpractice including:
- Emergency room errors: Many emergency rooms are understaffed, especially with so many uninsured people relying on them for primary care. Unfortunately, these stressful conditions can sometimes result in serious errors and injuries.
- Surgical errors: Most people would be surprised to hear about how some of the major surgical errors that occur relatively often, from puncture wounds to surgical instruments left in patients' bodies to amputations of the wrong limbs.
- Medication errors: When nurses and pharmacies misread prescriptions and charts, patients can end up with the wrong medication or too much medication, causing serious and possibly irreversible medical problems.
- Birth injuries: As common as it may be, the birthing process is dangerous, and birthing errors can cause cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy and other serious injuries.
Under Florida medical malpractice law, in order for you to pursue a personal injury claim against a doctor, nurse, hospital or other medical provider, you need an expert opinion from a professional in the same area of practice, testifying that medical negligence took place.
Because of this restriction and the fact that there is a two-year time limit to bring a claim, it is important to get your claim started as quickly as possible. Don't hesitate to contact us to discuss your medical malpractice case with one of our attorneys.
