Medical malpractice can occur at any point in a patient’s care, including during appointments with primary care physicians, medical treatments, or hospital stays. Various healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, surgeons, hospital staff, anesthesiologists, dentists, and pharmacists, can be held responsible for malpractice.

Common examples of medical malpractice include:

Failure to Obtain Patient Information

Medical professionals can’t provide effective care without obtaining patient information, such as allergies, blank, and blank. When healthcare providers fail to collect such things, they put patients at risk of serious harm. Examples of this type of medical negligence include:

• Failing to obtain the patient’s informed consent
• Neglecting to review the patient’s medical history (such as known allergies)
• Ignoring or dismissing the patient’s concerns

Anesthesia Errors

Mistakes in administering anesthesia can lead to devastating consequences such as brain damage, permanent injuries, or even wrongful death. Common examples of anesthesia errors include:

• Administering too much or too little anesthesia
• Failing to monitor the patient’s vital signs during the procedure
• Incorrectly performing intubation
• Neglecting to inform the patient of critical preoperative instructions, like fasting

Birth Injuries

The birth of a child should be a joyful experience, but when medical professionals make critical mistakes or fail to act appropriately, the result can be life-altering birth injuries. Examples of negligence that may cause birth injuries include:

• Ignoring or mismanaging signs of fetal distress
• Failing to perform a C-section in a timely manner
• Inadequate monitoring of the mother or baby
• Misuse of delivery tools, leading to injuries like Erb’s Palsy

Surgical Errors

Surgical errors can happen during or after both elective and emergency procedures, potentially leading to long-term harm. Examples include:

• Failure to provide proper post-operative care instructions
• Operating on the wrong body part
• Leaving surgical instruments inside the patient
• Causing infections due to unclean tools or an unsanitary environment
• Negligence in cosmetic procedures
• Mishandling medical devices during installation

If you’ve suffered from any of these forms of medical malpractice or others, you have the right to pursue justice. Our medical malpractice attorneys in Plantation are ready to fight for your rights and help secure the compensation you deserve.

If you or a loved one has been impacted by medical malpractice and neglect, contact one of our Plantation medical negligence lawyers. We offer a free, no-obligation consultation to review your case and determine whether or not it may be valid.

If your case is viable and you choose to move forward, we may be able to assist with the following:

Medical Treatment Records
We may obtain copies of relevant medical documentation, such as:

• Doctor’s notes
• Lab test results (X-rays, blood tests, CT scans)
• Prescriptions
• Hospital admission and discharge forms

We may help gather evidence related to the incidents that led to your malpractice claim in the hopes of demonstrating how healthcare professionals failed in their duty to provide proper care. Additionally, we may seek records from before your injury or condition developed to counter any defense claims that your injury was preexisting.

We also have access to medical experts who may be able to review your records thoroughly. With their insight, we may be able to show more clearly how substandard care contributed to your injuries.

Hospital Records
Our attorneys may obtain records from the hospital or facility where the negligent care occurred. We might also investigate whether there have been prior instances of malpractice at that facility, which could help establish a pattern of negligence.

Doctor Records
We may investigate the doctor or medical professional involved to see if they have a history of similar malpractice claims, which could be relevant to your case.

Bills and Receipts
We may help gather all bills and receipts related to your medical care, including hospital bills, co-pays, and lost wages. This information could assist us in calculating the potential compensation you may be entitled to for your injuries.

Personal Accounts of Your Injuries
If you haven’t already done so, we may suggest keeping a journal that details the challenges you face as a result of your medical condition, including pain, suffering, and difficulties with daily activities. This could be valuable in documenting the impact on your quality of life.

Interviews with Witnesses
We may want to interview any witnesses present during the events that led to your injury. Their statements could be important evidence as we work to resolve your claim or, if necessary, pursue your case in court.

If you believe you’ve been a victim of medical negligence in Plantation, FL, here’s why it’s important to reach out to an attorney without delay:

• Key Details Could Be Lost: Waiting too long can result in forgetting important information about your case.
• Lengthy Process: Medical malpractice cases can take time to resolve. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can begin working on your case, reducing the wait time for any potential compensation.
• Statute of Limitations: Florida law sets a strict deadline for filing medical malpractice claims. You typically have two years from the date of the incident or from when you discovered—or reasonably should have discovered—the medical issue to file. However, no claim can be filed more than four years after the incident occurred. For instance, if you discover the issue three years and six months after the event, you’d have just six months remaining to file a claim.

Our Plantation medical liability attorneys can help ensure your claim is filed within the appropriate time limits and before the statute of limitations runs out.

Economic Compensation
These damages have clear monetary values and may include:

• Past, present, and future medical expenses
• Costs for home health care
• Lost wages or diminished earning potential
• Expenses for durable medical equipment

Non Economic Compensation
These damages are more subjective and may include:

• Loss of companionship
• Diminished quality of life
• Pain and suffering, including physical discomfort and psychological effects such as anxiety, depression, and emotional distress

While we understand that nothing can replace the terrible consequences of what you have experienced, we don’t believe in letting medical negligence go unaddressed. Let our medical negligence attorneys of Plantation fight for your justice and hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions.
