Seek the compensation you deserve for malpractice in Florida

On Behalf of | Feb 26, 2015 | Medical Malpractice |

When you’re hurt in Florida, you sometimes have to seek medical attention. To do that, you’ll head to a local emergency room or doctor’s office and trust that the care you’ll receive is proper. Most people see hospitals and doctors’ offices as places where caring medical professionals perform procedures to make them feel better. In most cases, that’s true. Sometimes, errors take place, though, and that can leave a patient in worse shape than when they arrived.

Simply giving a patient a medication they’re allergic to can cause anaphylactic shock. Not treating this can lead to low oxygen levels in the body and eventual brain death. Not stopping a patient from bleeding internally after an injury can lead to low iron levels, anemia, or even worse, to death. Whether it’s a simple mistake like forgetting to give a patient a medication or a serious error like operating on the wrong site, these medical errors can’t be ignored.

If you’ve been subjected to medical errors and malpractice, you probably have a number of questions. How much money can you seek in damages? What will happen to the doctor or surgeon who made the error? Will you be able to testify against them and help the medical board realize the damage that’s been done?

You can get answers to these questions and more on our website. We have information on what you can do if you’ve been the victim of medical malpractice. In some cases, you can seek compensation and make the medical personnel who treated you take responsibility for your poor care.
