Doctors and other health care providers unfortunately cause harm to patients on a regular basis. But is it always malpractice? Malpractice occurs when a medical professional deviates from the "agreed upon standard of care" for the patient's condition. After heart disease and cancer, medical malpractice may be considered the third leading cause of death. Yet not every error of judgment is considered grounds for legal action and potential resulting compensation.
If you believe you have received treatment that may merit a claim, the only way to know for certain is to contact a qualified legal professional who specializes in personal injury law, including hospital and medical injury cases. Michael C. George, P. A. has the knowledge and experience to represent complex cases and has taken on some of the largest insurance companies nationwide.
Not only doctors, but anyone in the scope of medical practice can be held responsible for their improper actions. This includes nurses, nurse's aides, anesthesiologists, therapists, any employee of a health care facility involved with patient care, or the facility itself; pharmaceutical companies and others that provide various levels of supportive health care services.
A charge of medical malpractice is only valid up to two years from the time the victim knew or should have known that malpractice occurred. This is much shorter than the time allowed for other types of negligence, so it is essential to act without delay. It is also important to consult promptly with a personal injury attorney who understands the necessity of assessing your case, settling it out of court to avoid excess cost if at all feasible, or pressing charges before too much time passes.
The burden of proof is on the claimant, and several actions are necessary to present a claim that may be seen as definitive proof the defendant "represented a breach of the prevailing professional standard for that health care provider". Based on the law, an expert medical witness must be hired to testify and assert that the medical professional's actions "fell below the applicable standard of care, in order to win a medical malpractice case in the state of Florida. Florida Statutes Chapter 766 covers the subject of Florida laws regarding malpractice cases.
You can, in theory, present your own case. But chances of winning against the medical community's almost limitless litigation resources and strong defense strategies makes doing so inadvisable. A good personal injury lawyer knows how to navigate insurance traps and pitfalls. An attorney can advise you of your legal rights and responsibilities; protect your interests. Having a legal firm gather testimony and evidence to support your case, identify the proper defendants, quantify your damages, and file the case increases your chances of a favorable court decision.
