Miramar Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Skilled Lawyers Devoted to Protecting Clients’ Rights in Complex Broward County Medical Malpractice Cases

Everybody has a bad day at work from time to time—we all know that distractions outside of the workplace and even insufficient rest can lead to poor performance. Unfortunately, when a physician, surgeon or other medical professional has a bad day and performs poorly at work, patients can suffer irreparable harm. Medical malpractice can impact all areas of your life going forward, creating the need for a prolonged recovery period, repeat doctor’s visits and ongoing medical treatment and even surgery that would have been completely unnecessary had your doctor provided competent care. If you suffered from medical malpractice, you need skilled Miramar medical malpractice lawyers on your side.

Not all unfavorable medical outcomes are the result of malpractice, and not every error committed by a physician is actionable. Medical malpractice cases in Miramar quickly become complicated because you might not know how your doctor caused the harm, just that the harm did result. Florida also imposes strict requirements, which are necessary so that doctors aren’t punished when their skilled and competent treatment still fails to produce a good outcome.

At Lawlor, White & Murphey, our 55-plus combined years of experience successfully representing clients who have been harmed by medical malpractice or medical negligence have provided us with the experience and resources necessary to take on these complex cases. If you or a loved one have suffered harm because a doctor, hospital or other medical professional failed to provide competent care in or around Miramar, call us today to schedule a no-cost consultation to discuss your case.

Even Highly Trained Medical Professionals Can Commit Actionable Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor or other medical professional fails to adhere to the standards developed by the medical community. The level and type of care that a doctor is required to provide in order to satisfy these standards varies based upon the facts and circumstances of any given case—including the type of disease or injury, whether it is common or well-understood, the patient’s age and general health, and more.

Examples of potential malpractice claims may involve:

• Failure to diagnose, delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis cases,
• Failure to order the appropriate tests based on the circumstances,
  Improper or incorrect reading of a test or lab result,
• Surgical errors, including leaving equipment in the patient or operating on the wrong body part,
• Medication errors, including failure to ask about drug interactions or prescribing the wrong medication or dosage,
• Anesthesia errors, including administering the wrong dosage or failure to note any allergies,
• Cancer misdiagnosis,
• Birth injuries,
• Delayed C-sections,
• Lack of appropriate staffing, training or supervision in a hospital or medical facility.
