It is often quite difficult for patients to spot medical negligence at first glance. When adverse effects of medical treatment occur, patients often (understandably) simply assume that they are suffering from a known, unpreventable risk of a particular treatment. Sometimes, this is indeed the case. Other times, patients suffer adverse effects related to treatment that could have possibly been prevented, but that their physician, nurses and medical facilities are not legally liable for.
What is challenging however, is that sometimes patients unknowingly suffer due to adverse effects that could have been avoided had their medical care providers exercised a proper duty of care. The legal system allows patients to hold providers accountable for this negligent treatment, but it is not always easy to spot without the aid of an experienced Miami, Florida medical malpractice lawyer.
