The Shocking Reality of Surgical Errors in Kendall Hospitals
Every week, surgical teams at HCA Florida Kendall Hospital and Baptist Health make preventable mistakes. Florida paid out $382 million in medical malpractice claims last year. Surgical errors command the highest settlements at $309,745 average. Wrong-site surgeries happen once in every 112,000 procedures. Retained surgical instruments account for half of all surgical error claims. Jorge L. Flores knows these hospital systems inside out. We hold them accountable when their mistakes shatter your world.
How Kendall’s Teaching Hospitals Create Dangerous Conditions
HCA Florida Kendall Hospital operates Miami-Dade’s Level I Trauma Center with 150 residents training daily. Unsupervised residents perform complex procedures. Communication fails between attending physicians and trainees. The pressure of 90,000 annual emergency visits creates rushed decisions. Baptist Health’s robotics program introduces complications many surgeons haven’t mastered. Jorge L. Flores investigates whether your surgery involved resident negligence or protocol violations. Call (305) 528-2221 to discuss your hospital’s specific negligence patterns.
Recognizing Surgical Negligence vs. Known Complications
Not every surgical complication means you have a legal claim. True negligence occurs when surgeons violate accepted medical standards. Operating on the wrong body part crosses clear legal lines. Leaving instruments inside demands accountability. Infections appearing within days indicate contamination during surgery. Nerve damage far from the surgical site suggests careless technique. Jorge L. Flores reviews operative reports to identify where your surgical team failed. We distinguish genuine malpractice from acceptable risks.
Your Rights Under Florida’s Complex Malpractice Laws
Florida’s surgical error laws create strict deadlines you can’t afford to miss. You have two years from discovering your injury to file. Children under eight get extended protection. The four-year statute of repose provides an absolute deadline regardless of discovery. Before filing, Florida requires 90-day presuit investigation with expert medical opinions. Jorge L. Flores handles these complex requirements while you focus on recovery. Missing deadlines means losing your rights forever. Call (305) 528-2221 immediately.
What Compensation Surgical Error Victims Actually Recover
Surgical mistakes create cascading financial disasters. Jorge L. Flores fights for complete compensation including all medical expenses, lost wages, and lifetime care needs. Economic damages have no limits in Florida. Non-economic damages face $500,000 caps for most cases. Permanent disability cases command higher settlements. Your spouse recovers for loss of companionship. We advance all costs, from $50,000 expert witness fees to medical records. You pay nothing unless we win.
The Hidden Emotional Trauma Nobody Discusses
Surgical errors destroy more than bodies. Depression and PTSD plague victims long after physical wounds heal. Marriages strain under financial pressure. Children struggle watching parents suffer. The medical system you trusted now terrifies you. Jorge L. Flores connects families with trauma therapists while fighting for psychological damage compensation. Your emotional suffering matters as much as physical pain. Call (305) 528-2221 for support beyond legal representation.
Why Most Lawyers Reject Surgical Error Cases
The brutal truth: surgical error cases cost $100,000+ to litigate. Expert witnesses charge $10,000 to $50,000. Many lawyers reject cases where recovery doesn’t justify costs.
