Since orthopedic doctors are trained to treat musculoskeletal conditions — conditions relating to the skeleton and the muscles — their negligence can have terrible consequences for years to come.
Injuries that might qualify for a case include:
Orthopedic surgeons may also induce a coma or cause a dangerous condition in which hospital staff need to induce a coma. In extreme cases, orthopedic malpractice could result in death.
Other medical mistakes classified as orthopedic malpractice include:
Cases of orthopedic malpractice tend to be very complex and require in-depth knowledge of the victim’s condition, as well as the factors that allowed the malpractice to occur. Not every injury caused by a doctor is considered malpractice; the law requires negligence, carelessness, or irresponsibility on the part of the doctor.
If you believe you suffered due to orthopedic malpractice, you will have to prove that the orthopedic doctor or surgeon owed a professional standard of care to you. Then you must show that they violated it and injured you in the process.
The statute of limitations in Florida allows victims of orthopedic malpractice two years from the date of their injury or from the time the malpractice was or should have been reasonably discovered to file a claim. It is prudent to contact a reputable lawyer as soon as you suspect that malpractice occurred.
