If a doctor or healthcare provider caused you harm by failing to provide you with appropriate care, you have legal rights under Florida law. You can pursue a claim for compensation to collect payment for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other damages caused by the care provider’s failures.

Who is Responsible for Medical Malpractice?
When medical malpractice occurs, a provider can be held accountable for the harm they cause if you can prove that they fell short of fulfilling the standard of care.
Generally, this means showing that the care provider’s actions — or failure to act — were not up to the quality of care that a similarly trained medical professional would have provided under the same circumstances. A cardiologist, for example, would be expected to provide the care that an average, reasonable cardiologist would have, and an ER doctor the quality of care of an ER doc.
When a provider fails to fulfill their professional obligations, they may not be the only one that you can hold accountable for medical malpractice, either. You may also be able to pursue a claim against the care facility that employed the doctor, nurse, or other healthcare professional.
Hospitals, clinics, and other health care facilities can be held legally responsible for the negligent actions of their on-the-job employees because of vicarious liability laws, as well as based on their own negligence.
This means the clinic or hospital could be liable for doing things like failing to check qualifications of providers, but are responsible for losses even if the facility itself didn’t fall short because they are liable for the negligent actions of their on-the-job staff members.
Disco Law can help you identify all of the care providers who can be held responsible for damaging you, so you can maximize the chances of recovering full and fair compensation if you’re a malpractice victim.
