Medical Malpractice Serving Brevard, Palm Bay, Melbourne, and surrounding Areas in Florida

Malpractice Law deals with any serious breach in either a standard of care or conduct. The term “malpractice” refers to any gross negligence or misconduct by a practicing professional, such as a doctor, dentist, or surgeon. When this level of misconduct causes physical or mental injury, or some other kind of tangible damage or loss to a patient or a client, that patient is entitled to file a malpractice claim and possibly recover financial damages from a provider.

Florida’s malpractice laws are very specific regarding injuries and damages. Bross Bross Thomas and Savy is a highly respected law firm representing clients in Titusville, Palm Bay, Melbourne, Cocoa Beach, Viera, and all of Brevard County and Central Florida. You must file the case within no more than four years following the act causing injury. The provider must have made an error or failure to perform up to professional standards. And there must be tangible and provable damages from the breach of duty.

Medicine is not a forgiving science or profession; slight mistakes made by medical professionals can often lead to disastrous consequences for the victim. There is little room for error when it comes to the human body and the smallest of errors in judgment or technique made by a medical professional can be devastating.

A majority of medical malpractice cases filed are based on medical errors. Many malpractice cases are based on misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose, or an error in judgment in the therapeutic course chosen. Some examples of the most common failure to diagnose cases are failure to diagnose certain types of cancer or a heart attack. Common negligent treatment include anesthesia errors, or items left in the body during surgery (sponges, clamps, etc.).
