Did Your Doctor Make a Mistake? You Have Legal Rights!

More people die every year from doctors who fail to provide the appropriate level of care than from guns, AIDS, breast cancer or automobile accidents combined. Doctors are human and can make mistakes. When that mistake is the result of a health care provider's deviation from the accepted standard of care, and that deviation causes injury or death, medical malpractice may have occurred.

Medical malpractice laws are designed to protect patients' rights to pursue compensation if they are injured as the result of negligence. Malpractice suits are often complex and costly to win. Technically, you can seek compensation for any injury caused by negligence, regardless of its seriousness, time and money make it unrealistic to sue for an injury that is minor or resolves quickly. If you believe you have a medical malpractice claim, it is important to consult with a Medical Malpractice Attorney at Charlip Law Group, LC who can help you determine what remedies may exist for your damages.

Some Interesting Statistics about Florida Doctors:

Six percent of the doctors in Florida are responsible for half the malpractice. Public Citizen's analysis of the federal government's National Practitioner Data Bank information found that 2,674 of the state's 44,747 doctors have paid two or more malpractice awards to patients. These doctors are responsible for 51 percent of all payments.

Many of Florida's most dangerous doctors continue to practice and the state watchdog is asleep on the job. There are 1,555 physicians who have been disciplined by Florida's state medical and osteopathic boards for incompetence, misprescribing drugs, sexual misconduct, criminal convictions, ethical lapses and other offenses.

Healthcare professionals are only required to give a standard of care that is ordinary or normal. When a physician is determined to be negligent, it means that he or she has failed to use the same degree of skill and learning, under the same or similar circumstances, that are used by other members of the medical profession.
