First, our medical malpractice lawyers are experienced in knowing what qualifies as a medical negligence claim. So, we can review your medical incident in a no-obligation and complimentary consultation. And, we’ll let you know based on the information you provide if you have a claim.
One thing to remember is that medical malpractice cases have a statute of limitations. Actually, in Florida, claims may be barred after four years from when the negligence occurred. Thus, you need to file a medical negligence lawsuit within two years of discovering your injuries.
A medical malpractice claim also has to meet certain standards according to state law.
Florida law acknowledges that medical professionals have to meet certain standards when performing acceptable medical treatment. And, this is referred to as the “standard of care.”
Every patient has the right to expect that their doctor or other healthcare professional will deliver them the care that is in line with that standard. So, if the standard of care hasn’t been met, then medical negligence might be established.
A medical malpractice claim needs to show that a healthcare professional did more than violate the standard of care. Also, it needs to show that the patient sustained an injury. Otherwise, this injury wouldn’t have occurred if the medical professional hadn’t been negligent.
An outcome that you didn’t want isn’t malpractice. Therefore, your attorney has to prove that your healthcare professional’s negligence caused your injuries. But, if you have an injury that wasn’t caused by negligence, then you don’t have a case.
A medical malpractice claim is very costly to litigate. In fact, multiple medical experts might be required to testify. However, for your medical negligence case to be viable, a patient will need to illustrate that their injuries resulted in significant damages.
