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 medical malpractice.

Malpractice occurs when a healthcare worker, doctor, or surgeon makes a mistake that injures a patient. A malpractice case will require three specific factors:

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)

Some examples of potential medical malpractice claims are:

Amputation
Anesthesia Errors
Childbirth Injuries
Delay or Failure To Diagnose
Dental malpractice (nerve damage, wrongful death)
Emergency Room Errors
Failure to properly sanitize medical equipment
Hospital Malpractice
Medication Errors
Misdiagnosis
Negligent Prenatal Care
Retained Surgical Equipment
Spinal Cord Injuries/Paralysis
Surgical Mistakes
Unnecessary Surgery
Wrong Site/Side Injuries

When was the first notification of problems with transvaginal mesh for POP and SUI?

In 2008, the FDA released a Safety Notification warning the public about complications of transvaginal mesh for SUI and POP, but described complications as rare. In 2011, the FDA updated the Safety Notification to say complications were not rare.

How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim?

In Florida, medical malpractice claims generally have a statute of limitations of two years from the date you knew or should have known about the negligent act. There are a few exceptions to this law and although they are not common it is worth your time to contact Rubenstein Law at 1-800-FL-LEGAL for a thorough evaluation of your case.
