What Counts as Medical Malpractice?

Not every bad outcome is malpractice. But when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, and you are seriously injured as a result, you may have a case. Common examples of medical malpractice include:

Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
Surgical errors
Birth injuries
Anesthesia mistakes
Medication errors
Failure to monitor a patient
Infections caused by unsanitary conditions
Failure to obtain informed consent

If you’re not sure whether what happened to you qualifies, we’ll review your case and give you clear, honest answers.

What to Do If You Suspect Medical Malpractice

Medical negligence cases move quickly in Florida, and certain requirements apply before you can even file a lawsuit. Here’s what to do:

Get a second opinion

If possible, see another provider to address your health and confirm whether a mistake may have been made.

Request your medical records

You have a right to them, and they are critical to proving what happened.

Do not delay

Florida has a two-year statute of limitations for most medical malpractice claims. In some cases, the deadline may be extended if the negligence was not immediately discoverable, but time is still limited.

Call Cohen Injury Law

We’ll evaluate your case, gather records, consult medical experts, and walk you through your legal options.

Compensation in a Medical Malpractice Case

A successful claim can help you recover damages for:

Past and future medical bills
Lost wages or loss of earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Permanent disability
Loss of enjoyment of life
Emotional distress
Wrongful death (in fatal cases)

We fight to make sure you are fully compensated for the harm you’ve suffered.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim in Florida?

In most cases, you have two years from the date you discovered (or should have discovered) the malpractice.

Do I need an expert witness?

Yes. Florida law requires a verified expert opinion before a medical malpractice lawsuit can even be filed. We handle that process for you, working with trusted medical professionals who can evaluate your case.

Can I sue a hospital or just the doctor?

It depends. Sometimes both the doctor and the hospital or clinic can be held responsible. We will investigate everyone involved to determine who may be legally liable.

Will my case go to trial?

Most cases settle before trial, but we prepare for litigation from the beginning so we are ready if the insurance company refuses to pay fairly.
