suffered because of hospital negligence in Florida?

Hospital Negligence Attorneys

Imagine seeking medical care to heal and improve your well-being, only to experience further harm due to a hospital’s negligence. Unfortunately, this is a reality for many patients in Miami and throughout Florida. Hospital negligence can lead to severe injuries, prolonged recovery, or even the loss of a loved one.

Understanding Hospital Negligence

Hospitals are entrusted with providing safe and competent medical care. When they fail to meet the accepted standard of care, and patients suffer as a result, it constitutes hospital negligence. This can occur due to various reasons, such as inadequate staffing, poorly maintained equipment, poorly trained staff or errors made by medical professionals.

Common Examples of Hospital Negligence

These errors can occur in various hospital departments, such as the emergency room, intensive care unit, operating room, or maternity ward. Hospital negligence can take many forms, including:

Medication Errors

Administering the wrong medication or incorrect dosage.

Surgical Mistakes

Operating on the wrong body part or leaving surgical instruments inside the patient.

Diagnostic Failures

Delayed or incorrect diagnosis leading to improper treatment.

Monitoring Failures

Inadequate monitoring of a patient’s medical condition.

Anesthesia Errors

Providing too much or too little anesthesia, causing complications.

Staffing Issues

Understaffed facilities leading to inadequate patient care.

Inadequate Training

Employing medical staff without proper qualifications or training.

Florida’s Statute of Limitations

Time is of the essence when filing a hospital negligence lawsuit in Florida. Generally, you have two years from the date you discovered the injury (or should have discovered it) to file a claim; however, there are exceptions:
Statute of Repose: In most cases, you cannot file a lawsuit more than four years from the date of the malpractice, regardless of when it was discovered.
Fraud or Concealment: If the hospital intentionally concealed the malpractice, the statute of limitations may be extended.
Minors: Special rules apply if the victim is a child. Given these complexities, it’s crucial to consult with experienced attorneys as soon as possible to protect your rights.
