Medical malpractice is when a patient has been harmed after a healthcare professional or facility has provided care that was below the industry standard. People often assume that only doctors, nurses and hospitals can held responsible for medical malpractice. But actually, any healthcare professional can be held liable for medical malpractice, including pharmacists, anesthesiologists, dentists and psychiatrists.

Pharmaceutical errors are one of the most common types of medical malpractice. Prescription medications can save patients lives and improve patients’ health, but the wrong dose or the wrong medication can severely injure a patient. Another common type of medical malpractice, especially in Florida, is nursing home abuse. Misdiagnosis, birth injuries, and physician negligence all fall under the umbrella of medical malpractice.

According to the U.S. Institute of Medicine, 98,000 patients die each year due to medical errors in hospitals. Families that have lost loved one due to the negligence of a healthcare professional may be eligible to file a medical malpractice lawsuit.

Due to the statue of limitations, Florida medical malpractice victims have two years from the date of incident to file a claim. If you or a loved one has been injured due to medical malpractice, you need to immediately discuss your legal options with an attorney. The medical malpractice attorneys at Gordon & Doner offer free case evaluations to anyone who has been harmed by medical negligence.
