If a medical malpractice claim in Florida is successful, the injured party may be entitled to recover compensation for a variety of damages. This can include reimbursement for medical expenses incurred due to the malpractice, compensation for lost wages if the injury affected the ability to work, and damages for pain and suffering. In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded if the conduct of the healthcare provider was particularly egregious. An experienced attorney can help you understand the full scope of damages you may be eligible for.
