Understanding Your Rights in a Medical Malpractice Claim
Medical malpractice claims in Florida can be intricate. These are the basics:
- What malpractice is. A healthcare provider deviating from the accepted standard of care and harming a patient. An unfavorable outcome alone is not malpractice; negligence is.
- Deadlines. Florida law sets a limited time to file a medical malpractice claim. If you believe you were harmed, talk to an attorney promptly.
- Medical records. Your records are the foundation of the case. Request a complete copy from every provider involved.
- Expert testimony. Claims often depend on medical experts who can explain the standard of care and how it was breached.
- Informed consent. You are entitled to the risks, benefits and alternatives before a procedure. Failure to obtain informed consent can be grounds for a claim.
- Damages. Economic damages (medical bills, lost wages), non-economic damages (pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life) and, less commonly, punitive damages.
- Settlement. Many cases settle out of court. Talk to your attorney before accepting any offer.
