When we seek medical care, we trust healthcare professionals to provide treatment that meets established standards of care. Unfortunately, mistakes in hospitals, clinics, or doctors’ offices can cause severe, sometimes permanent harm. Medical malpractice occurs when a provider’s negligence leads to injury, disability, or wrongful death.
At Moore Payne Law, Attorneys Geoff Moore and Spencer Payne have dedicated their careers to representing victims of negligence. They understand how complex and emotionally charged medical malpractice cases can be, and they fight to ensure patients and families receive justice.
Common Types of Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice can take many forms. Some of the most common include:
- Surgical Errors – Mistakes during surgery such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving instruments inside the patient, or causing unnecessary damage.
- Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis – Failure to identify a medical condition in time, resulting in disease progression or lost treatment opportunities.
- Medication Errors – Prescribing the wrong medication, incorrect dosage, or failing to check for dangerous drug interactions.
- Birth Injuries – Negligence during pregnancy, labor, or delivery that causes harm to mother or child, such as cerebral palsy or nerve damage.
- Anesthesia Errors – Administering too much or too little anesthesia, or failing to monitor a patient during a procedure.
- Hospital Negligence – Poor sanitation, understaffing, or lack of proper patient monitoring leading to infections, falls, or preventable injuries.
Each case requires careful investigation to prove negligence and hold the responsible party accountable.
Proving Medical Malpractice in Florida
Not every unfavorable medical outcome is malpractice. To succeed in a claim, the following elements must be established:
- 1.
- Duty of Care – The healthcare provider owed the patient a professional duty.
- 2.
- Breach of Duty – The provider failed to meet accepted standards of medical care.
- 3.
- Causation – The breach directly caused the patient’s injury or worsened their condition.
- 4.
- Damages – The patient suffered measurable harm, such as additional medical costs, disability, or loss of income.
Florida law also requires medical malpractice cases to go through a pre-suit investigation, including expert review. This process makes it critical for victims to have skilled attorneys guiding them.
Compensation for Medical Malpractice Victims
Victims of medical negligence may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages, including:
- Medical expenses, including corrective surgeries and long-term treatment
- Lost wages and loss of future earning potential
- Pain and suffering caused by physical and emotional harm
- Compensation for permanent disability or disfigurement
- Loss of companionship and support in wrongful death cases
The value of each case depends on the severity of the injury and its long-term effects on the victim’s life.
