How We Help

Proving Surgical Negligence

To prove medical malpractice, a Florida surgical errors attorney will have to first establish that the medical professional in question breached their duty of care. Medical professionals in the state of Florida are held to a certain standard of care, which means that they can be deemed negligent if they do not uphold that same level of care that a reasonable medical professional of similar ability and experience would exercise when diagnosing and treating a patient. Most serious surgical errors are preventable mistakes. This fact makes it much more straightforward for a surgical injury lawyer from Loutos Law to prove negligence.
