Medical Malpractice Wrongful Death

A medical malpractice wrongful death claim happens when a patient’s life is lost due to negligence or the failure of healthcare professionals to provide a standard level of care. This could involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, or failure to treat a critical condition, among other forms of negligence. In Florida, medical professionals are held to strict standards, and when their actions—or lack of actions—lead to a patient's death, surviving family members can pursue justice through a wrongful death claim.

Who Should File a Claim and Why Having an Attorney Is Essential

• Benefits of Filing: The family of a person who dies as a result of medical negligence may claim compensation for medical expenditures, funeral costs, lost future income, pain and suffering, and mental stress. Spouses, children, and other dependents are typically entitled to recovery.
• Consequences Without Representation: Medical malpractice cases are complex, and without skilled representation, families may face obstacles in proving negligence and securing fair compensation. Florida law has a two-year statute of limitations, so missed deadlines can lead to financial loss.
