Still Not Sure What Medical Malpractice is or if You Have a Claim?

Any medical malpractice lawyer Miami FL has to offer will tell you that a medical malpractice claim is one based on damages for injury, monetary loss, or death of a person caused by any medical care provider which fell below the standard of care. But where does that leave you? What steps do you need to take to get the compensation you deserve? As a Miami FL medical malpractice lawyer on the Jeffrey R. Davis team could explain, it’s important to understand that, as a patient, when you turn to hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, or private doctor offices, you are trusting in the skills and expertise of medical professionals to provide proper diagnosis and treatment for your ailments. You also expect that your doctors and the medical assistants caring for you will meet the prevailing professional standard of care. Under the law in many states, including Florida, this standard for a general health care provider is that of the level of care, skill, and treatment which is recognized in the area as acceptable and appropriate by reasonably prudent and similar health care providers. If you believe your care has not met this minimum standard, you may want to discuss your potential claim with a top-notch medical malpractice lawyer Miami FL residents turn to their time of need.

Standards for Different Schools of Practice

There are also professional standards for different schools of practice:

  • Specialists (doctors that specialize in specific areas due to additional training and being examined by a specialty board)
  • Licensed Practitioners (who are not medical doctors at all and whose licenses may prohibit them from administering drugs, treating certain conditions, or performing surgery).

Specialists include: neurologists, obstetricians, orthodontists,orthopedic surgeons, etc. Examples of licensed practitioners include: nurses, chiropractors, podiatrists, psychologists and other practitioners who cannot prescribe medication.

Because each speciality comes with its own particular set of standards, you will need an experienced medical malpractice lawyer Miami FL relies on to determine the appropriate prevailing professional standard of care in your case. However, as a general rule, most specialists and other practitioners tend to fall under the same general legal principle. Each is typically held to the standard he has implicitly professed as his own. Thus, one who holds himself out as a medical doctor will be held to the medical standard (by medical malpractice claims). Conversely, if that same professional held himself out as a podiatrist or a chiropractor, he will be held to the standards followed in those practices (by chiropractic or podiatric malpractice claims), not the medical standard.

Despite patient trust and general efforts to meet patient needs, mistakes and deviations from the standard of care still occur. Medical malpractice may be caused by ignorance, carelessness, miscommunication, lack of professional skill, disregard of established rules, or even a malicious or criminal intent. If you think you’ve fallen victim to any of these failures to meet professional standard, contact a medical malpractice lawyer Miami FL is proud to have fighting for their community at the Jeffrey R. Davis, P.A. law firm today!

Do not recommend. His staff made several mistakes on our case due to lack of care and attention. Jeff is more worried about covering himself and collecting his fee, than he is in following through on what he had promised. He has wasted our money and time and caused us a...
