Medical errors are inexcusable, especially given the avoidable nature of these mistakes. These mistakes often have devastating and sometimes fatal consequences. We trust medical professionals to care for our health and well-being, but it is a trust that is frequently betrayed.

Many Miami Hospitals Provide Subpar Care to Patients Like You
Data in a 2022 report from the Leapfrog Group reflects that patients of Miami area hospitals have a great amount of dissatisfaction due to medical errors and other safety issues. Many hospitals reflect a “C” grade and general issues with some of the services and care provided:
- Mount Sinai Medical Center: Reports show that patients at Mount Sinai Medical Center suffered infections and had issues during surgery. Some patients reported issues with communication and proper safety protocol, like hand washing and medicine administration.
- Coral Gables Hospital: Patients also gave Coral Gables Hospital a C rating, and reported many communication issues with doctors and nurses, as well as problems with communication and administration of medicines.
- Palmetto General Hospital and Steward Hialeah Hospital: These facilities, both part of the Steward Health Care Network, both suffer from repeated communication issues that can put their patients at risk.
- Baptist Health hospitals: Baptist Health Baptist Hospital of Miami patients reported issues like kidney injuries after surgery, blood clots and bed sores, and poor communication with nursing staff.
- North Shore Medical Center: North Shore Medical Center, also part of the Steward Health Care Network, received a “D” rating in late 2023 due to reports of infections like MRSA and urinary tract infections, poor communication with staff, and issues with medication administration and communication.
- Aventura Hospital and Medical Center: Although HCA Florida Aventura Hospital has improved its scores in 2023, we cannot ignore a history of “C” ratings that have included issues of communication with medical staff and instances of sepsis after surgery.
- Kendall Regional Medical Center: Like HCA Florida Aventura Hospital, HCA Florida Kendall Hospital has gone up to a “B” rating in recent reports, but this facility has also struggled with providing optimal patient care and communication.
These and other hospitals should be held liable for negligence of their facilities and staff, so do not hesitate to take action. Call us for a free consultation now.
Seeking Compensation After Miami Hospital Malpractice
You know firsthand how hospital medical malpractice has harmed you or a loved one and how emotionally, physically, and financially devastating this incident has been. There is a lot at stake with medical malpractice cases, and we aim to get you every dollar you need to recover and find some semblance of closure and justice.
There are many types of hospital malpractice and various types of damages, but we may be able to help you seek:
- Pain and suffering and mental anguish: We can help you get compensation for the intangible effects of your injuries.
- Medical bills and expenses: Whether your injuries require short- or long-term expenses, we will seek every possible form of compensation for your medical expenses. This could include emergency room bills, physical therapy, occupational rehabilitation, surgery expenses, medication costs, and many other bills. If you are disabled by your injuries, we will also seek associated expenses, like live-in health care aides, home renovations and accommodations, and wheelchairs or other assistive devices.
- Lost income: Your injuries can put you out of work temporarily or permanently, and you deserve every form of lost income you are missing out on. We can even help you seek payment for your lost earning potential if you can no longer perform your work (or if you must change jobs).
- Wrongful death damages: If a loved one passed away, we will fight for the expenses and losses associated with their passing, including loss of companionship and funeral expenses.
- Lost support and services: You may no longer be able to do things around the house to keep your household running, and we can seek damages for these kinds of losses.
