Lakeland Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Harmed by medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice involves the failure of medical professionals to use reasonable care in treating a patient. A physician is held to a standard of care that a reasonable physician would provide in that particular situation. A duty of care also extends to other medical professionals such as nurses, pharmacists, paramedics, nurse's aides and caregivers, each required to provide a level of care appropriate to their station. If you suspect you have been harmed through medical malpractice, you are urged to contact a personal injury attorney in Lakeland.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice can occur in a wide variety of ways. A surgeon may take out the wrong organ. An obstetrician may delay a c-section, causing a serious
birth injury. A physician may prescribe a medicine aggravating your allergies. A family practice physician may fail to diagnose or aggressively treat advancing heart disease eventually leading to a heart attack. An emergency room physician may misdiagnose a pending stroke. A pharmacist may misread your prescription and give you the
wrong medicine. An emergency room technician may fail to notice symptoms of a heart attack. A nurse may fail to check for bed sores.
Damages
When you are hurt due to medical malpractice, you are entitled to compensation. This may include:
- Medical bills
- Hospitalization costs
- Rehabilitation
- Loss of income
