Miami Medical Malpractice Attorney

Representing Patients Harmed by Medical Negligence Across Florida

Patients trust healthcare providers to deliver competent and careful treatment. When doctors, nurses, hospitals, or other medical professionals fail to meet accepted standards, the results can be devastating.

Medical malpractice occurs when negligent care causes preventable injury or death. These cases are among the most complex forms of civil litigation and require careful medical review and strategic legal preparation.

The Miami Shark P.A. represents patients and families in Miami and throughout Florida who have suffered harm due to medical negligence. Our office is located at 6709 North Kendall Dr #213 in Miami, and we serve clients statewide.

What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice arises when a healthcare provider breaches the accepted standard of care and causes injury to a patient.

Not every poor outcome qualifies as malpractice. Medicine carries inherent risks. However, when a provider fails to act as a reasonably competent professional would under similar circumstances, legal action may be appropriate.

Medical malpractice claims require proof that
A duty of care existed.
The provider breached the accepted medical standard.
The breach directly caused injury.
The patient suffered measurable damages.
These cases typically require expert medical testimony and detailed review of records.

Types of Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle

Medical negligence can occur in many forms. We represent clients in matters involving:

Medication Errors

Prescription mistakes, improper dosages, dangerous drug interactions, and monitoring failures can cause serious injury. Medication error cases often involve both prescribing physicians and pharmacies.

Surgical Errors

Surgical negligence may include wrong-site surgery, retained surgical instruments, anesthesia errors, or improper technique. These cases often require expert review of operative reports and post-operative care.

Misdiagnosis and Delayed Diagnosis

Failure to diagnose serious conditions such as cancer, stroke, or heart attack in a timely manner can significantly reduce treatment options and worsen outcomes.

Emergency Room Errors

Emergency room negligence may involve improper triage, failure to order necessary tests, misinterpretation of results, or premature discharge.

Additional Malpractice Areas

In addition to the categories above, medical malpractice may also involve:
  • Birth injuries
  • Hospital negligence
  • Anesthesia errors
  • Dental malpractice
  • Psychiatric malpractice
  • Failure to obtain informed consent
  • Failure to monitor patients properly
Each case requires careful evaluation of whether proper medical standards were followed.

Florida Medical Malpractice Requirements

Florida law imposes specific procedural requirements before a medical malpractice lawsuit can be filed.

These typically include:

  • A pre-suit investigation
  • Independent expert review
  • Formal notice to potential defendants

Injuries Resulting From Medical Negligence

Medical malpractice can result in life-altering consequences, including:

  • Brain injury
  • Loss of mobility
  • Chronic pain
  • Wrongful death
In many cases, patients require additional surgeries, long-term rehabilitation, or ongoing medical treatment.

  • Medical expenses
