What Is Considered Medical Malpractice in Florida?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm or injury to the patient. In Florida, this standard of care refers to the level of care, skill, and treatment that reasonably competent healthcare professionals would provide under similar circumstances. If a doctor, nurse, or other medical professional fails to meet this standard and a patient suffers as a result, it may constitute medical malpractice.

Common examples of medical malpractice include:

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: Failing to diagnose or incorrectly diagnosing a medical condition can lead to improper treatment, worsened health, or even death.
• Surgical errors: Mistakes made during surgery, such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving instruments inside a patient, or performing unnecessary surgery, can cause serious harm.
• Medication errors: Administering the wrong medication, incorrect dosage, or failing to consider drug interactions can lead to harmful side effects, complications, or death.
• Birth injuries: Negligence during labor and delivery can result in life-altering injuries to both the mother and child, such as cerebral palsy or brachial plexus injuries.
• Anesthesia errors: Mistakes in administering anesthesia can lead to severe complications, including brain damage or death.

“People come to us at the hardest moments of their lives. My job is to give them strength, fight for what’s right, and make sure their voice is heard where it matters most—in court.”

Common Injuries Resulting from Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice can result in a wide range of injuries, some of which can have lifelong consequences. Patients who are victims of medical negligence may experience:

• Brain injuries: Errors during surgery, anesthesia, or delayed diagnosis of conditions like stroke or infections can cause permanent brain damage.
• Spinal cord injuries: Surgical mistakes or misdiagnosis of spinal conditions can lead to paralysis or loss of motor function.
• Infections: Inadequate post-surgical care or failure to diagnose and treat infections can cause serious health complications.
• Birth injuries: Medical negligence during childbirth can result in conditions like cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, or developmental delays in infants.
• Wrongful death: In the most tragic cases, medical malpractice can lead to the death of a patient due to misdiagnosis, surgical errors, or improper treatment.

These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care, placing an enormous financial burden on the victim and their family. At Burnetti, P.A., we fight to help you recover the compensation you need to cover these costs.

Who Can Be Held Liable for Medical Malpractice?

In Florida, several parties may be held liable for medical malpractice, depending on the circumstances of the case. These parties may include:

• Doctors and surgeons: Physicians who fail to provide the standard of care can be held responsible for errors, such as misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, or improper treatment.
• Hospitals and medical facilities: Medical institutions can be held liable for malpractice if they fail to maintain proper standards, hire unqualified staff, or allow unsafe practices.
• Nurses and medical staff: Nurses, anesthesiologists, and other medical professionals can be held accountable for errors made in patient care, medication administration, or anesthesia.
• Pharmaceutical companies: In some cases, drug manufacturers can be held liable for producing unsafe medications or failing to warn healthcare providers of potential risks.

Determining liability in a medical malpractice case requires a thorough investigation and a deep understanding of medical and legal standards. At Burnetti, P.A., our attorneys work with medical experts to analyze the facts of your case and identify all responsible parties.
