Medical Malpractice Attorney in DeLand

Medical malpractice takes on quite a few different forms. The most common example of medical malpractice would be a surgical error — for example, an organ nicked during surgery and the failure to notice and repair it. However, there are several other forms that are also often common in DeLand and around Florida. These include, but are not limited to:

• Misdiagnosis, as well as the failure to diagnose a medical condition in a timely manner.

• Prescribing the wrong drugs, causing harmful side effects or overdose.

• Over-prescribing drugs and helping cause a harmful addiction.

• Waiting too long or failing to perform a circumstantially necessary medical procedure, such as a C-section.

• Failing to follow proper medical hygiene procedures, leading to dangerous infections.

• Failure to monitor patients.

Medical malpractice cases are complex, because they involve the fields of law and medicine. So it takes an experienced, well-versed lawyer to step in and fight for victims of medical malpractice. This is even more important in Florida, where state law imposes special procedural requirements on medical malpractice claims intended to discourage claims in general and to encourage pre-trial settlement.

Victims of medical malpractice can’t fight negligence themselves — doctors, hospitals, and clinics aren’t typically poised to admit fault and won’t pay a penny without a fight.
