FAQs for Our Miami Medication Error Lawyers
What constitutes a medication error under Florida medical malpractice law?
A medication error becomes medical malpractice when it results from a healthcare provider’s failure to meet the accepted standard of care, leading to patient harm. Common errors include prescribing the wrong drug or dosage, failing to consider allergies or drug interactions, incorrect administration by nursing staff, or poor communication between providers. Our legal team at Freidin Brown, P.A. investigates these breakdowns in care to determine whether negligence played a role in the medication mistake and the resulting harm.
What is the statute of limitations for filing a medication error malpractice claim in Florida?
In Florida, you generally have two years from the date you discovered—or reasonably should have discovered—the malpractice. However, there is an absolute deadline of four years from the date of the incident. In certain cases involving fraud, concealment, or minors, exceptions may extend this timeline. At Freidin Brown, P.A., we act promptly to evaluate your case, secure medical records, and ensure timely filing under Florida law.
How does Florida’s comparative fault law affect medication error malpractice claims?
Florida applies a modified comparative fault rule. If a patient is found partially responsible—such as by failing to disclose a known allergy or misusing the medication—their compensation may be reduced proportionally. However, if the patient is found more than 50% at fault, they may be barred from recovering damages. Our medical malpractice lawyers at Freidin Brown, P.A., work to present a clear, evidence-backed case that emphasizes the provider’s responsibility while minimizing any unfair assignment of fault to the patient.
Who can be held liable for medication errors in Miami, Florida?
Liability may fall on multiple parties, including physicians who prescribe the wrong medication, pharmacists who fill the prescription incorrectly, nurses who administer the wrong dose, or even hospitals that fail to implement proper safety protocols. Our legal team at Freidin Brown, P.A. conducts a comprehensive review of medical records, pharmacy logs, and hospital procedures to identify every negligent party involved in the medication error and pursue full accountability for your injuries.
