FAQ: How to Determine If You Need a Medical Malpractice Lawyer

How Can I Tell If My Doctor Committed Medical Malpractice?

Determining whether your doctor made a mistake that qualifies as medical malpractice can be difficult. You need to assess whether a mistake was made and if it meets the legal definition of medical malpractice under Florida law. Consulting with a medical malpractice lawyer can help clarify this.

What Are Common Types of Medical Malpractice?

Some common types of medical malpractice include:
  • Misdiagnosis: Incorrectly diagnosing a condition, leading to wrong or delayed treatment.
  • Delayed Diagnosis: Taking too long to diagnose a condition, worsening the outcome.
  • Surgical Errors: Mistakes during surgery, like operating on the wrong part or leaving instruments inside the patient.
  • Treatment Errors: Administering the wrong treatment or medication.
  • Failure to Monitor: Not properly monitoring a patient’s condition, leading to complications.

Does Every Medical Mistake Count as Malpractice?

No, not every medical mistake qualifies as malpractice. The circumstances surrounding the mistake are important. In emergencies or certain situations, some mistakes might be understandable. A medical malpractice lawyer can help you determine if the mistake in your case qualifies as malpractice.

What Can a Medical Malpractice Attorney Do for Me?

A medical malpractice attorney can review your case, consult with medical experts if needed, and help you decide whether to pursue legal action. If you have a valid claim, they’ll guide you through the legal process, help gather evidence, and work to get you the compensation you deserve.

What Should I Do If I Suspect Medical Malpractice?

If you suspect medical malpractice, it’s important to act quickly. There are strict time limits, known as statutes of limitations, for filing a lawsuit. Consult with an experienced medical malpractice lawyer to understand your rights and determine your next steps.
