Although a doctor's first rule is to "do no harm," unfortunately either through negligence or inattentiveness they do make mistakes. Florida Law requires that doctors, and all "health care providers" act in accordance with the prevailing "standard of care." Aside from doctors, "Health care providers" include nurses, dentists, chiropractors, podiatrists, and hospitals.

The "standard of care" means that the health care provider act in accordance with the standards of the community in which they are practicing medicine.

Florida Law has placed many restrictions upon these types of cases, including Specific time limits upon which victims of medical negligence have to pursue their case.

Further, there are now limitations on the amount of damages which may be recovered, these limitations vary depending upon who the negligent "health care provider" was. As such, it is imperative that the severity and permanency of all injuries claimed from medical negligence are addressed in a prompt manner.
