Medical malpractice is an area of the law applied to cases involving negligence on the part of a healthcare provider. In Florida, medical malpractice lawsuits can be brought against negligent doctors, hospitals, nurses, therapists, clinics, and any involved company or person. If you or someone you love has been injured in the Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach or Boca Raton areas, or anywhere in Florida, and you believe it was because of a medical error or mistake you may have a potential medical malpractice lawsuit.

Medical malpractice stemming from medical errors and negligence is on the rise across Florida. Over 200,000 people die each year across the country unnecessarily from medical mistakes. While a national debate grows and new laws are being passed all the time, the number of medical errors continues growing and getting more serious and costly.

Because Florida has such strict and complicated laws regarding medical malpractice claims it is important to ensure that you have as much evidence as possible for your case. Our lawyers must prove by the greater weight of the evidence that the healthcare provider’s care of the patient fell below the legally required level of care. Our attorneys must also prove that this negligence was the cause of the injury or illness.

Florida’s laws also limit the time in which a person has to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. Florida has a general statute of limitations that is two years from when the patient or their family found out about the error and that this error caused the injury, with few exceptions. This makes it important to contact a Florida lawyer as soon as feasible, given your particular circumstances.
