Florida Medical Malpractice Cases

It’s Not Just Doctors. Not everyone is aware that medical malpractice can also apply to nurses, health care facilities, and others providing health care services, such as nursing homes and even dentists. If a surgeon, doctor, nurse, hospital, or other medical provider’s actions or inactions fail to meet what is considered the accepted standard of care, that provider may be liable for an injured person’s damages.

Although the majority of Florida health care providers do great work, mistakes can be made that have adverse effects on the patient. Sometimes those effects can linger for the rest of their life, which may also impact their family and friends. Medical malpractice occurs when a careless or negligent omission by a doctor or another type of medical professional does not meet the standard of care and causes harm to the patient. Medical malpractice laws are designed to protect patients’ rights to pursue compensation if they are injured due to a medical provider’s negligence.
