Medical Malpractice in Jacksonville
When you enter a medical facility, you place your trust in the doctor or nurse who is providing you with physical care. You can suffer substantial injury if this trust is breached. Medical malpractice refers to the failure on the part of a medical professional or staff member to provide proper caution and care during surgery, treatment, and any other type of medical care. In a medical malpractice case, the process can be complicated, so the victim needs a knowledgeable and experienced attorney by the victim's side. The complex claims process requires the collection of numerous records and extensive research. Our Jacksonville personal injury attorney has more than 29 years of experience that can be put to use for your benefit.
Types of Medical Malpractice Cases
Medical malpractice cases can take various forms. They can occur when a doctor has failed to recognize an illness or symptom or prescribes the wrong medication. Surgeons can also be guilty of medical malpractice when they perform a surgical error that results in a worse condition for the patient. Pharmacists can be liable if they provide the wrong medication or provide an incorrect dosage. Medical mistakes lead to nearly 100,000 deaths each year in the United States and are therefore taken seriously in courts of law.
