What is Medical Malpractice?
For as long as you can remember if you felt sick you would go to the doctor to see what is wrong. We’ve all grown up to trust the doctor’s opinion and rely on their diagnosis and care to make us feel better. Unfortunately, not all diagnoses or treatment plans are accurate and/or the treatment is implemented incorrectly. When an inaccurate diagnosis or poor execution of treatment results in a terrible injury or even death it is known as medical malpractice.
- Negligence – The doctor was negligent and his actions fell below the standard of care set forth in Florida Statute 766.102
- Injury – The negligence caused a death or injury
- Damages – The injury led to specific damages (both economic and non-economic)
