Medical Malpractice
Medical
malpractice/medical negligence occurs when doctors, nurses, hospitals or other
health care providers cause injury or death to a patient by failing to meet the
accepted “standard of care”. Florida has a statute that defines standard of care
as that level of care, skill and treatment that is recognized as acceptable and
appropriate by reasonably prudent, similar healthcare providers under similar
circumstances. The term “medical
malpractice” can apply to misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, and gross negligence.
Some studies indicate that up to 70% of medical errors could have been
prevented. The most common types of medical malpractice include:
Mishandling of patient records
Misread x-ray, CT Scan, or other test result
Failure to properly diagnose a condition in a timely fashion
Failure to promptly respond to patient symptoms
Surgical errors
Medication errors
Failure to prevent injury
A medical malpractice
attorney at
Chalik & Chalik can help determine if your health care
provider did not provide acceptable care or if medical mistakes occurred.

How do
I know if I have a medical malpractice case?
Generally speaking, to win a
medical malpractice case, you must have expert medical testimony that no
reasonable health care provider would have done what yours did. Reasonableness
is generally determined by looking at what is reasonable care. You must also
prove through expert testimony that the negligence of your health care provider
was a cause of injury or death. To determine if you have a case, contact a
medical malpractice attorney at
Chalik & Chalik
today. Remember: A bad
medical result does not always mean malpractice.Is
there a statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice lawsuit?
In Florida, a medical malpractice action must be brought within two years
from the date of the incident or from the date when the incident was or should
have been discovered. You should bring any potential medical malpractice claim
to the attention of an experienced malpractice attorney as soon as it is
suspected in order to protect your rights.
If you or someone you love was injured due to medical negligence, you need
Chalik & Chalik to
investigate and prove your claim. Call or email the Florida medical malpractice
attorneys at
