What Is Medical Malpractice In Florida?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care in their treatment of a patient, resulting in harm to the patient. In Florida, medical malpractice cases require proof of four key elements:

  • Duty: The healthcare provider had a duty to provide care to the patient.
  • Breach: The healthcare provider breached their duty of care by failing to meet the standard of care in their treatment of the patient.
  • Causation: The healthcare provider's breach of duty caused harm to the patient.
  • Damages: The patient suffered damages as a result of the healthcare provider's breach of duty.

These four key elements are crucial in establishing a successful medical malpractice case in Florida. Negligence can occur in a variety of medical situations, including misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication errors, and birth injuries. Patients who have suffered harm due to medical malpractice may be entitled to compensation for their damages.

If you believe you have been the victim of medical malpractice in Florida, it is essential to seek the advice of an experienced medical malpractice attorney.

Medical Malpractice Statute Of Limitations In Florida

In Florida, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice lawsuits is two years from the discovery of the incident. However, some malpractice scenarios may not be immediately discoverable. In these cases, patients have two years from the date of discovery to file medical malpractice claims. But no action can be taken later than four years from the initial occurrence of the accident.

How Our Miami Medical Malpractice Lawyers Can Help You?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional or institution provides substandard care that results in harm or injury to a patient. At Hentschel x Lanza, our Miami medical malpractice lawyers have experience handling a wide range of medical malpractice cases. Here's how we can help you:

  • Review Your Case: We will review your case to determine if medical malpractice has occurred and whether you have a valid claim.
  • Conduct an Investigation: We will conduct a thorough investigation into the incident to gather evidence and build a strong case.
  • Consult with Medical Experts: We will consult with medical experts to analyze your case and determine if the healthcare provider failed to meet the standard of care.
  • File a Claim: We will file a claim on your behalf and negotiate with the insurance medical provider to seek the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
  • Represent You in Court: If necessary, we will represent you in court and fight for your rights.

Medical Malpractice Case Compensations

If you have been the victim of medical malpractice, you may be entitled to compensation for economic and non-economic damages.

Economic Damages

Economic damages refer to the financial losses a patient has incurred as a result of medical malpractice. These may include:

  • Lost Earning Capacity: Compensation for wages lost due to a disability resulting from the malpractice.
  • Lifecare Expenses: Compensation for ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, or other services needed as a result of the malpractice.
  • Medical Expenses: Compensation for medical bills related to the injury, including hospitalization, surgery, medication, and other related costs.

These types of damages can be extensive and may continue for the rest of the patient's life. An experienced medical malpractice attorney can help calculate the economic damages that are appropriate for your case.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages refer to the intangible losses a patient has incurred as a result of medical malpractice. These may include:

  • Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical and emotional pain and suffering caused by the malpractice.
  • Emotional Distress: Compensation for the mental anguish and emotional trauma resulting from the malpractice.
  • Loss of Consortium: Compensation for the loss of companionship, affection, and sexual relations with a spouse resulting from the malpractice.
  • Disfigurement: Compensation for any permanent disfigurement resulting from the malpractice.

Non-economic damages can be difficult to quantify, but they are no less real or important than economic damages. An experienced medical malpractice attorney can help you navigate the complex process of calculating non-economic damages and fighting for the compensation you deserve.

FAQ

What are the Medical Malpractice Statute of Limitations Anomalies in Florida?

Under certain circumstances, the statute of limitations may extend longer in Florida. These anomalies include:

  • Medical malpractice involving a minor under the age of eight: Parents may file an action within two years of discovery for medical malpractice that occurred to their child while they are under the age of eight.
  • Medical malpractice involving intentional fraud or concealment: A Florida medical malpractice lawsuit may be filed within seven years of the occurrence of a practice given intentionally concealed or fraudulent information. This means that if fraud or concealment was a part of someone’s medical malpractice situation, they gain an extra three years from the date of occurrence to file suit legally.

What is the Average Medical Malpractice Case Settlement in Florida?

The average payout in a medical malpractice case in Florida varies depending on the facts and circumstances of each case. Plaintiffs may be entitled to recover the costs of medical bills and treatment related to their injury, lost wages due to missed work, pain and suffering damages, emotional distress damages, and even punitive damages. These types of claims are highly complex and require an experienced legal team to go through the medical records and ensure that fair compensation is met and just results are achieved.
