Every patient who walks into a hospital, clinic, or doctor’s office trusts that they will receive competent care and honest communication. But when medical professionals make preventable mistakes, the consequences can be devastating. Medical malpractice can lead to lifelong disability, severe complications, or even death.
At Moore Payne Law, Attorneys Geoff Moore and Spencer Payne represent individuals and families throughout Florida who have suffered due to medical negligence. Their mission is simple: to hold negligent hospitals, physicians, and corporations accountable and ensure victims receive the justice and financial recovery they deserve.
Understanding Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care — the level of skill, attention, and professionalism that a reasonably competent provider would have exercised in similar circumstances.
Common examples of malpractice include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis — failing to identify a serious illness in time.
- Surgical errors — operating on the wrong body part, leaving instruments inside the patient, or causing preventable injury.
- Medication mistakes — prescribing or administering the wrong drug or dosage.
- Birth injuries — negligence during pregnancy, labor, or delivery resulting in harm to mother or infant.
- Anesthesia errors — improper dosage or failure to monitor vital signs during surgery.
- Lack of informed consent — performing a procedure without explaining the risks and alternatives.
Even small mistakes can have catastrophic outcomes. Moore Payne Law’s attorneys work relentlessly to uncover what went wrong and why.
Why Medical Errors Happen
While some adverse medical outcomes are unavoidable, most malpractice cases arise from preventable errors — often due to systemic failures in the healthcare system. Common causes include:
- Overworked or understaffed hospitals
- Poor communication between doctors and nurses
- Inadequate training or supervision
- Ignoring patient complaints or abnormal test results
- Corporate pressure to cut costs or speed up treatment
When hospitals or healthcare corporations in Florida prioritize profits over patient safety, Moore Payne Law holds them accountable for the harm they cause.
How Moore Payne Law Proves Medical Malpractice
Proving malpractice requires demonstrating that a provider’s conduct fell below accepted medical standards and directly caused injury. Moore Payne Law takes a methodical, evidence-based approach to every case.
Their process includes:
- 1.
- Comprehensive Case Review: Analyzing all medical records, test results, and doctor notes.
- 2.
- Expert Testimony: Working with respected medical professionals to identify where care went wrong.
- 3.
- Policy Investigation: Reviewing hospital protocols, staffing schedules, and communication logs.
- 4.
- Establishing Causation: Linking the provider’s actions directly to the patient’s harm.
- 5.
- Pursuing Full Compensation: Recovering damages for medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
This detailed approach ensures every aspect of the case is supported by evidence and expert validation.
Common Injuries from Medical Negligence
Medical malpractice can cause permanent and life-altering injuries, including:
- Brain damage or oxygen deprivation during surgery or childbirth
- Paralysis or nerve injuries
- Organ failure or infections from poor hygiene
- Worsening of a condition due to missed or delayed diagnosis
- Disfigurement or amputation caused by surgical mistakes
Victims of malpractice often face years of rehabilitation, emotional trauma, and mounting medical expenses. Moore Payne Law fights to ensure victims receive compensation that reflects both their financial and human losses.
Compensation Available for Victims
Victims of medical negligence in Florida may be entitled to recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses: Hospitalization, surgeries, therapy, and medications
- Lost wages: Income lost during recovery or due to disability
- Pain and suffering: Physical pain, emotional trauma, and psychological distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life: Inability to participate in normal activities
- Wrongful death damages: Funeral costs and loss of financial support for surviving family members
The attorneys at Moore Payne Law understand that no settlement can undo the harm caused — but fair compensation can help restore dignity and provide security for the future.
Why Experience Matters in Medical Malpractice Cases
Medical malpractice cases are among the most challenging personal injury claims. They require extensive medical knowledge, expert witnesses, and the ability to navigate Florida’s strict legal procedures.
Hospitals and insurers often deploy aggressive legal teams to deny responsibility. Attorneys Geoff Moore and Spencer Payne bring years of experience and a track record of success in complex medical negligence cases.
They know how to:
- Interpret and challenge complicated medical records
- Cross-examine expert witnesses effectively
- Expose systemic failures within hospitals
- Present compelling arguments to juries
Every case at Moore Payne Law is treated with meticulous preparation and compassion — ensuring victims have the strongest possible representation.
Florida’s Statute of Limitations for Medical Malpractice
In Florida, medical malpractice claims generally must be filed within two years of discovering the injury — but no later than four years from the date of the malpractice itself. There are exceptions, such as cases involving fraud or minors, but these timelines are strict.
Because evidence can disappear and deadlines pass quickly, victims should contact an attorney as soon as possible after suspecting medical negligence. Moore Payne Law ensures all evidence is preserved and your rights are protected from day one.
