What You Need to Know About Medical Malpractice in Orlando

The doctor-patient relationship is built on trust, as patients rely on medical professionals to provide skilled and attentive care. However, unexpected situations can occur that shatter this trust and lead to serious harm.

Medical malpractice can take many forms, from a misdiagnosis to a surgical error, resulting in both physical and emotional injuries. These errors often stem from negligence, such as:

  • Misdiagnosing
  • Delaying a diagnosis
  • Failure to diagnose
  • Surgical errors
  • Incorrect treatment
  • Administering the wrong medication
  • Failure to monitor a patient’s condition
  • Medical abandonment
  • Failure to obtain informed consent

These issues can also arise with other healthcare providers, including nurses, pharmacists, and medical staff.

Patients have the right to seek compensation for damages. If you believe you have been a victim of medical negligence, an Orlando medical malpractice lawyer can evaluate your case and help determine whether you are eligible for compensation.

How an Orlando Medical Malpractice Attorney Can Prove Negligence

The legal system provides a way for victims of medical malpractice to seek justice and hold negligent professionals accountable. An Orlando medical malpractice lawyer will use strong evidence to build your case, including:

  • Expert testimony from other physicians who can testify on the appropriate standard of care.
  • Medical records confirming the doctor-patient relationship and improper treatment.
  • Laboratory and testing reports demonstrating medical errors.
  • Communication records, such as emails, phone calls, and messages.
  • Video surveillance from hospitals or medical facilities.
  • Photographs of injuries and treatment records.
  • Your personal statement detailing what happened.

All documentation is crucial for proving negligence and securing a favorable outcome. At LaBovick Law Group, our experienced legal team will guide you through every step of the process.

James was searching for equipment for painting at Home Depot. In the aisle next to him, there was a worker on a lift stocking the highest shelf. The worker pushed boxes so far across the shelf that they fell off the other edge and hit James in the head. The force almost knocked James unconscious. He sat down and the loud bang got the worker off the ladder to see what fell. When they saw James they offered him a bucket and made a report. James did not recall leaving the store or how he got home. He did not recall much except being at home depot and getting hit in the head. Home Depot told him that it was a small box of dust masks that hurt him. We discovered it was actually a large box of emergency kits that fell off the shelf.
