What Qualifies as Hospital Negligence?
Hospital negligence is a type of medical malpractice and refers to the facility’s failure to provide care that meets the standard of medical care expected in the situation. Negligence could come from administrative failures or errors from employees, including healthcare providers.
Establishing liability for harm can be complex for multiple reasons—for example, employment statuses for healthcare providers can affect which parties your lawyer can hold accountable. Additionally, not every mistake or negative outcome is inherently a sign of negligence.
These and other nuances require medical malpractice lawyers with extensive experience and resources to match. Our firm is well equipped to manage a wide variety of hospital negligence cases, which can include but are not limited to:
- Premature discharge from an AdventHealth facility, including emergency rooms
- Failure to diagnose or delays in diagnosing a condition
- Surgical errors
- Issues with safety and sanitation standards
- Medication errors
- Failures in communication between healthcare providers
- Anesthesia errors
- Birth injuries
Whether you received negligent care at AdventHealth’s flagship location in Orlando, Tampa, or anywhere else in Florida, our team may be able to help you.

Pursuing Damages From AdventHealth to Pay for Your Losses
Hospital negligence can have devastating consequences for patients. When you are on the receiving end of negligent care, the damages you suffer may affect you for the rest of your life. Our lawyers can help you pursue two main types of damages:
Economic Losses
Economic damages are those losses that have a direct financial value. Some of the expenses we’ve helped people seek compensation for include:
- Current healthcare expenses and future medical costs
- Travel expenses, especially if you need to go out of the city or state for follow-up care
- Home modification and assistive devices
- Costs of hiring in-home assistance
- Mental health expenses
- Lost income and earning potential
In the event that this negligence results in the death of a loved one, we can help your family pursue economic damages like funeral expenses and loss of the deceased’s income, among other damages.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages are losses that are intangible with no direct financial value. While these losses cannot be calculated by bills or invoices, you still deserve compensation for the toll they have taken on you and your loved ones. Some of these damages include:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional anguish
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of enjoyment
In wrongful death claims, our attorneys can help your family seek compensation for non-economic losses, too. While no amount of money can ever make up for the emotional pain your family is going through, you still deserve recognition of your family’s loss.

We Help Families Who Suffered Hospital Negligence
Do I Need a Malpractice Lawyer for a Hospital Negligence Claim?
Medical malpractice claims are some of the most unique and challenging claims an injury victim can face. Florida malpractice laws make these cases difficult to navigate, and firms that do not specialize in malpractice claims are often unable to deliver results to their clients. Finding the right lawyer means you have a strong advocate pursuing a settlement or verdict that fully compensates you.
Hospital Negligence Claim Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do You Have to Sue a Hospital for Negligence in Florida?
Medical negligence cases are subject to the statute of limitations outlined in Florida Statutes § 95.11. This deadline means you only have a limited time to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party for damages.
Because medical malpractice claims are so complex, a lawyer must review the details of the case to determine how long you have to act. As soon as you suspect hospital negligence at an AdventHealth facility, reach out to our team.
Is It Hard to Win a Lawsuit Against a Hospital?
The odds of winning a malpractice case in Florida can depend on quite a few factors. While malpractice and hospital negligence claims are challenging, the strength of evidence, your lawyer’s understanding of malpractice standards, and your lawyer’s ability to negotiate and litigate play important roles in your claim.
Our firm is well-equipped to present your case from start to finish—we have at least two lawyers working on strategy and planning, making sure that they have the time and attention to devote to your claim. We have represented over 300 cases in jury trials, and we have gone up against numerous hospitals and medical groups throughout the state.
A claim against AdventHealth can seem daunting, but our firm is here to offer you help during this difficult time.
How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Top Attorney for My Case?
Our firm believes that Floridians should not have to worry about the costs of filing malpractice claims or hiring a lawyer in order to seek justice. Our team takes cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay none of the upfront fees and costs.
You only pay our firm if we are successful, and this payment is just a portion of the settlement or verdict. If we do not win, you owe us nothing.
