Medical Malpractice Representation in Miami & Beyond
Holding Doctors and Hospitals Accountable for Medical Errors
Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, nurse, hospital, or other healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care and causes harm to a patient. These cases are deeply personal and often devastating, especially when the injury could have been prevented. Roller Law represents patients and families across Miami who were harmed by medical negligence. We understand the emotional weight of these cases and fight relentlessly to hold negligent providers accountable while pursuing the compensation our clients need to move forward.
What Counts as Medical Malpractice in Florida?
Not every poor medical outcome is malpractice. Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider deviates from accepted medical standards and that failure directly causes injury. Common examples include misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, surgical mistakes, anesthesia errors, medication errors, and birth injuries. When medical professionals fail to act as a reasonably competent provider would under similar circumstances, they can be held legally responsible.
Common Types of Medical Malpractice Cases
Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis
Failing to diagnose conditions like cancer, infections, or internal injuries can delay life-saving treatment and worsen outcomes.
Surgical Errors
Mistakes such as operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside a patient, or causing avoidable complications during surgery.
Anesthesia & Medication Errors
Incorrect dosages, improper administration, or failure to monitor patients can lead to brain damage, organ failure, or death.
Birth Injuries
Negligence during pregnancy, labor, or delivery can cause lifelong injuries to newborns and devastating consequences for families.
Hospital Negligence
Unsafe staffing levels, poor sanitation, and failure to monitor patients properly can all lead to serious harm.
Why Medical Malpractice Cases Are Complex
Medical malpractice cases are among the most challenging personal injury claims. Florida law requires a pre-suit investigation, expert medical review, and strict procedural compliance before a lawsuit can proceed. Roller Law works with qualified medical experts who review records, identify breaches in the standard of care, and testify when necessary. We handle every legal requirement carefully to protect your claim and present a strong, evidence-backed case.
Medical Malpractice Laws & Deadlines in Florida
Florida generally requires medical malpractice claims to be filed within two years from the date the injury was discovered or should have been discovered. These deadlines are shorter and more complex than standard injury cases, making early legal review critical. Missing a deadline can permanently bar recovery, which is why we encourage prompt consultation if malpractice is suspected.
Compassionate Advocacy When Trust Is Broken
Patients trust doctors and hospitals with their health and lives. When that trust is broken, the emotional impact can be overwhelming. We understand the anger, grief, and confusion families feel after a preventable medical mistake. Our role is not only to pursue compensation, but to provide clarity, accountability, and a sense of justice for those harmed.
