What Constitutes Medical Malpractice in Florida?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient.

In Florida, there are several factors that must be present for a case to be considered medical malpractice:

  • There must be a doctor-patient relationship. This means that the healthcare provider has a duty to provide care to the patient, and the patient has agreed to receive treatment.
  • The healthcare provider must have breached their duty of care. In Florida, this means that the healthcare provider must have acted in a way that was negligent or below the standard of care expected of a reasonable healthcare provider in similar circumstances.
  • The breach of duty must have caused harm to the patient. This harm can be physical, emotional, or financial.
  • The harm must have resulted in damages. This means that the patient must have suffered actual losses, such as medical expenses, lost wages, or pain and suffering.

Examples of medical malpractice in Florida can include misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose, surgical errors, medication errors, and birth injuries. If you believe that you have been a victim of medical malpractice, it's important to speak with an experienced medical malpractice lawyer in Florida as soon as possible.

Why Choose Our Florida Medical Neglect Lawyers?

We represent cases nationwide, but why choose a firm in Florida over a local firm? Because we were built on a history of results. Ultimately, what a firm says about itself will never be as loud as its ability to obtain results for clients. In the last 35+ years, our firm has secured hundreds of millions for people who were seriously injured and could not afford to lose.

  • Just a few examples of our medical malpractice results:
  • $15 million for parents in a birth injury case
  • $5 million in a confidential settlement
  • $6.75 million recovery for a young woman injured by medical malpractice
  • $6 million recovery for a disabled child injured in the recovery room

The "secret" to our success is simple: we keep our caseload small so we can commit proper resources, time, and thought to your case. Because we commit more time, we outwork our opponents, arriving at the courtroom better prepared and ready for trial. This strategy has served us time and time again, allowing us to secure compensation for the injured.

Recent Review

5 / 5 Stars

"After being rejected by another firm, my daughter reached out to Stewart Tilghman Fox Bianchi & Cain with the hope that they would be able to represent my husband and I for an injury he suffered because of negligence by our local hospital. We were so grateful that they took on our case and obtained justice for our family. I no longer have to worry about getting him the care he needs or paying our bills thanks to the recovery my attorneys, Steve Cain and Gary Fox were able to obtain. They held our hand throughout the entire process. I always recommend them to family and friends needing legal help because I know there is no better firm to get the job done than them."
