Seeking Compensation for Negligent Care in Florida

Failures in Medical Care

Doctors and nurses are highly trained and educated professionals. We usually trust their judgment and rely on them to make the right decisions. When an act of negligence occurs, however, severe injury and wrongful death may be the result.

Nursing errors and negligence may include:

• Failure to monitor patients
• Failure to follow a physician's orders
• Failure to report to a physician
• Medication errors
• Failure to recognize symptoms

Physician errors and negligence may include:

• Failure to diagnose
• Misdiagnoses
• Prescribing the wrong medicine
• Failure to refer to a specialist
• Continuing an ineffective treatment

Whether the problem was caused by a breakdown in communication or inadequate staffing, you may be able to obtain compensation for your losses.
