Medical malpractice in Florida

The state of Florida has relatively strict guidelines that determine the viability of bringing forward a medical malpractice lawsuit. The determination is based upon this question: What would a reasonably competent medical professional practicing in the same field as the defendant do under the circumstances the defendant was facing with respect to patient's care and treatment? Our firm can review your potential claim and discuss with you the scope of our firm's role. We represent people in medical malpractice cases related to issues such as the following.

• Failure to diagnose cancer
• Failure to diagnose illnesses and medical conditions
• Failure to treat a medical condition
• Failure to notify attending physician of patient distress
• Surgical errors
• Emergency room errors
• Anesthesia errors
• Wrongful death
