A medical professional has an important job and plenty of responsibility, so when one of them hurts a patient instead of helping them, they must be held accountable. If you or a loved one have suffered harm due to the actions of a doctor, nurse, or any other medical professional, you may have a medical malpractice suit on your hands.
A Daytona Beach medical malpractice lawyer from the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine can help. Our law office can evaluate your case at no cost to you, and then we will help you pursue damages and fight for the compensation you and your family deserve.
Pursuing a Medical Malpractice Case in Daytona Beach
Unfortunately, medical malpractice is quite common. A study from Johns Hopkins Medicine recently showed that it is now one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Medical malpractice can cause harm or even the death of patients. It can also lead to disabilities and permanent health issues.
Medicine has a standard of care, and medical professionals who do not meet that standard can harm patients. Malpractice can be caused by negligence, inadequate training, understaffing, and various other factors.
No matter the cause, you deserve compensation if you or your family member have been harmed by people who were supposed to be caring for you.
Types of Daytona Beach Medical Malpractice
When people think of medical malpractice, they might picture surgical errors and dramatic mistakes that cause death or permanent disabilities. However, many forms of medical malpractice vary in severity, so do not assume your case is “no big deal” and you do not deserve compensation.
Daytona Beach medical malpractice cases can be filed due to the following:
- Surgical mistakes
- Anesthesia errors
- Misdiagnosis
- A failure to diagnose
- Medication errors
- Injuries from restraints
Your care team should be avoiding any of these situations that can result in grievous harm to a patient and their families. If they did not do their best to uphold a standard of care, you should pursue damages, and we can help.
Recovering Medical Malpractice Damages in Daytona Beach
Suffering an injury due to medical malpractice can affect your finances, your work situation, and even how you spend your leisure time. If you feel that the negligence of a medical professional has caused you harm, you should pursue compensation with us. Your compensation can cover the following:
Medical Bills From A Medical Malpractice Injury
If you have been harmed by medical malpractice, you will likely need additional treatment. Your medical bills could begin piling up, and your compensation should cover that and help relieve you of this financial burden.
Lost Wages
An injury from medical malpractice can also keep you out of work for an extended period. Your compensation can help cover the wages you missed out on when you were unable to work.
Loss of Future Earning Potential
Your injuries could leave you with lasting health issues that affect your ability to work. If you can no longer work as many hours in the same field or at all, your loss of future earning potential must also be considered when compensation is calculated.
Loss of Enjoyment
An injury affecting your workability could also make it harder to enjoy leisure time. If medical malpractice has caused injuries that prevent you from participating in a hobby or sport you once enjoyed, you deserve compensation.
Disfigurement and Disability
Disfigurement or disability can leave you with lasting issues that affect your physical and mental health. We will help you pursue damages that help to make things right.
Pain and Suffering
You should also be compensated for any other pain and suffering you and your family members experience during this trying time.
