At Southern Florida Law, our exclusive focus on personal injury cases, including medical malpractice, sets us apart in our dedication and expertise in navigating these intricate legal waters.

What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider, through a negligent act or omission, causes injury to a patient. This negligence might stem from errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare, or health management. For a claim to be considered as malpractice under Florida law, the claim must involve:

• A duty of care owed by the healthcare professional to the patient
• A breach of this duty by failing to adhere to the accepted standard of care
• An injury caused by this breach
• Damages resulting from the injury
