If you have suffered from medical negligence, Winter Haven medical malpractice attorneys may be able to help you obtain the compensation you need for medical bills, extended care, and pain and suffering.
Medical malpractice means misconduct, or breach of duty by a professional to provide the necessary care or service that result in an injury, loss, or damage. When a doctor, nurse, or medical professional fails to provide the quality of care that is reasonably expected in the circumstances, patients under the professional’s care may suffer injuries, illnesses, or even loss of life. Errors in medical malpractice could result from negligence, ignorance, or intentional harm to the patient.

In the medical field, preventable medical errors are known as “never events,” events that should never happen. However, “never events” are occurring at a startling rate. Out of approximately 10,000 medical malpractice payments in a ten year period reported:

$11,000,000 recovery for a client injured in a commercial vehicle accident.

According to Scientific American, 440,000 deaths from preventable medical mistakes or poor hospital care results in nearly one-sixth of all U.S. deaths each year. If medical errors were listed on the Leading Causes of Death report, medical errors would be the third-leading cause of death in the U.S. behind heart disease and cancer.
