Medical Malpractice Injuries in Sarasota, FL

Medical errors are a leading cause of death and severe injury in America, but an attorney can help you evaluate your case and let you know if the injury you suffered amounts to medical malpractice. Not everyone injured under a doctor’s care is a victim of medical malpractice, but those who are may be eligible for substantial compensation.

A successful medical malpractice claim features the following elements:

A Duty of Care

To win a medical malpractice claim, we must demonstrate that the medical provider owed you a duty of care. If you had an active doctor-patient relationship with the provider, or if the provider was an employee of a doctor with whom you had a doctor-patient relationship, a duty of care is implied.

A medical provider’s duty of care states that they must pass the “reasonable person” standard when treating patients. In other words, if a reasonable person in the same position would be expected to provide higher-quality care or not make the same error as your provider, we can show that they violated their duty of care.

Breach of Duty

The next element of a successful medical malpractice claim is showing a breach of duty. We must demonstrate that your doctor or medical provider did not uphold their duty of care to you. We make this case by presenting evidence that the provider fell short of their duty. This evidence may include:

• Medical records
• Statements from other doctors
• Statements from other medical staff members
• Photos and videos
• The provider’s statements

We can also bring in medical expert witnesses to examine the evidence and play the role of the “reasonable person.” These witnesses can offer insight into how your provider should have handled the situation and why their behavior amounts to a breach of duty.

Injury Caused by Breach

We must show that your doctor or medical provider’s breach of duty caused you to suffer harm. In other words, we must draw a direct cause-and-effect relationship between the provider’s actions, or lack of action, and your injuries.

Economic and Noneconomic Damages

Finally, we lay out the total economic and noneconomic damages that you suffered as a result of your medical malpractice injury. The sooner we get to work on your case after your injury, the easier it will be to tie your financial losses and other damages to the medical malpractice you suffered.

The Statute of Limitations on Medical Malpractice Claims in Sarasota

In Florida, medical malpractice victims generally have four years to take legal action under FL § 95.11. If your injury involved fraud or intentional concealment by the provider, this deadline may be extended to seven years. Every case is different, however, so it is important to discuss yours with a Sarasota medical malpractice lawyer who can inform you of any deadlines or restrictions that apply.

If necessary, we can file a quick lawsuit to ensure that the statute of limitations does not run out on your claim.
