Medical Malpractice

Doctors of all types, ranging from surgeons to dentists to general practitioners, have a professional obligation to provide an acceptable standard of care for their patients. Medical mistakes and negligence happen on a greater scale than most people would imagine--medical errors are among the leading causes of death every year in the U.S. In addition, the US Department of Health and Human Services has found that one out of seven Medicare patients suffers an injury every month due to a medical professional’s mistake.  

Medical malpractice cases are often more complicated than traditional personal injury cases. Aside from the specialized medical knowledge required to handle these cases, Florida law shortens the usual statute of limitations period and requires a complex "pre-suit" process before a lawsuit can be filed against a medical provider. This pre-suit process can contain many traps for the unwary legal practitioner. 

Unlike a traditional personal injury matter, victims of medical malpractice are often unsure about what happened. It’s common to merely suspect that something went wrong. Medical providers rarely alert patients to their mistakes and take responsibility for their actions. Attorneys like Ben are the last and sometimes only line of defense against careless medical providers.

Examples of potentially actionable medical malpractice include:

• Failure to diagnose the patient (whether because of failure to run the right tests, failure to recognize symptoms, or even failure to correctly interpret test results)
• Misdiagnosis
• Prescription drug errors, including prescribing the wrong drug, the wrong dosage, or the wrong method of administering the drug
• Emergency room errors
• Surgical errors
• Operating on the wrong body part
• Failure to obtain a full patient history
• Anesthesia errors
• Hospital negligence
• Birth injuries
• Failure to obtain a patient’s informed consent
• Use of defective medical products
