Question 1

How Do You Sue a Hospital in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Suing a Florida hospital is a complex process that involves:

Proving a medical error occurred
Linking negligence or malpractice directly to an injury
Identifying and valuing damages
Filing a hospital malpractice lawsuit

A hospital can be held liable for the negligence of its employees. The doctrine of vicarious liability holds employers legally responsible for the negligent actions of their employees. Malpractice victims must show that they suffered an injury because a doctor, nurse, or other provider employed by the hospital failed to meet the duty of care. If a patient receives care below the standard for their particular procedure, treatment, or circumstance, the hospital may be liable for damages. A hospital may also be held responsible if the malpractice resulted from its acts or administration. Some examples include poor oversight, negligent hiring, understaffing, or inadequate procedures. Taking on a hospital or big health care company can be overwhelming without the right support. Working with experienced hospital negligence attorneys can help you navigate the legal process and take the right steps to secure a favorable settlement or verdict.
