Skilled Lawyers Devoted to Protecting Clients’ Rights in Complex Broward County Medical Malpractice Cases

Everybody has a bad day at work from time to time—we all know that distractions outside of the workplace and even insufficient rest can lead to poor performance. Unfortunately, when a physician, surgeon or other medical professional has a bad day and performs poorly at work, patients can suffer irreparable harm. Medical malpractice can impact all areas of your life going forward, creating the need for a prolonged recovery period, repeat doctor’s visits and ongoing medical treatment and even surgery that would have been completely unnecessary had your doctor provided competent care. If you suffered from medical malpractice, you need skilled Miramar medical malpractice lawyers on your side.

Not all unfavorable medical outcomes are the result of malpractice, and not every error committed by a physician is actionable. Medical malpractice cases in Miramar quickly become complicated because you might not know how your doctor caused the harm, just that the harm did result. Florida also imposes strict requirements, which are necessary so that doctors aren’t punished when their skilled and competent treatment still fails to produce a good outcome.

Even Highly Trained Medical Professionals Can Commit Actionable Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor or other medical professional fails to adhere to the standards developed by the medical community. The level and type of care that a doctor is required to provide in order to satisfy these standards varies based upon the facts and circumstances of any given case—including the type of disease or injury, whether it is common or well-understood, the patient’s age and general health, and more.

Examples of potential malpractice claims may involve:

Failure to diagnose, delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis cases,
Failure to order the appropriate tests based on the circumstances,
Improper or incorrect reading of a test or lab result,
Surgical errors, including leaving equipment in the patient or operating on the wrong body part,
Medication errors, including failure to ask about drug interactions or prescribing the wrong medication or dosage,
Anesthesia errors, including administering the wrong dosage or failure to note any allergies,
Cancer misdiagnosis,
Birth injuries,
Delayed C-sections,
Lack of appropriate staffing, training or supervision in a hospital or medical facility.

Frequently Asked Questions About Miramar, Florida Medical Malpractice Claims

How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim in Florida?

What is contributory negligence? Can contributory negligence become relevant in a medical malpractice case?

Contributory negligence is a legal theory whereby a defendant’s liability can be mitigated by the fact that the alleged victim was also negligent in contributing to the harm. In medical malpractice cases, contributory negligence can become relevant. For example, if you failed to disclose certain conditions on a form or didn’t tell your doctor all of the medications you were taking when asked, the doctor’s liability for any resulting harm can be diminished or even eliminated. Contributory negligence can also be relevant if you fail to follow doctor’s orders when a treatment plan has been established—in other words, you also have a duty to avoid causing harm to yourself.

What if my emergency room doctor in Miramar performed procedures and I never gave them consent, will I have a medical malpractice claim?

Doctors and medical professionals are generally required to obtain “informed consent” from their patients, which involves disclosing the risks and benefits of a procedure, allowing a patient to ask any questions and obtaining the patient’s consent to proceed. However, in an emergency setting where you are unable to consent and the doctor is trying to save your life, informed consent is not necessary, so the fact that you did not explicitly consent may not be relevant.
