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.
