What Counts as Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of
care, causing harm. This can be through an action (like a surgical error) or inaction (like failing
to diagnose a serious condition).
These cases are complex. Florida law requires specific steps — including an investigation and
expert review — before filing a lawsuit. Our team knows this process inside and out.
Misdiagnosis & Delayed Diagnosis
A missed or delayed diagnosis of conditions like cancer, heart attacks, or strokes can lead to irreversible harm.
Surgical Errors
Operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside a patient, or other mistakes can change a life forever.
Medication & Anesthesia Errors
Incorrect prescriptions, wrong dosages, or anesthesia errors can cause brain damage, organ failure, or death.
Birth Injuries
Negligence during pregnancy or delivery can lead to lifelong conditions such as cerebral palsy or nerve damage.
Hospital Negligence
Poor policies, understaffing, or unsanitary conditions in Gainesville facilities can lead to preventable infections or patient injuries
