Protecting Patients Harmed by Medical Negligence

We trust our doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers with our lives. When that trust is broken, the results can be devastating. At Clause Law Group, with offices in both Pennsylvania and Florida, our experienced medical malpractice attorneys are here to help victims of negligence get the justice and compensation they deserve.

What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider’s care falls below the accepted standard and causes harm to a patient. This can include both actions (such as performing the wrong surgery) and omissions (like failing to diagnose a serious illness).

To succeed in a medical malpractice claim, a plaintiff must prove:

  1. A provider-patient relationship existed.
  2. The provider breached the standard of care.
  3. The breach caused injury or harm.
  4. The harm led to damages (medical bills, lost wages, pain, etc.).

Examples of Medical Negligence

Negligent Actions

  • Misdiagnosing or delaying a diagnosis
  • Surgical errors (wrong procedure, wrong site, instruments left inside)
  • Prescription errors or harmful drug interactions
  • Administering incorrect dosages or treatments
  • Birth injuries caused by improper prenatal or delivery care

Negligent Omissions

  • Failing to follow up on lab or test results
  • Not ordering necessary diagnostic tests
  • Ignoring patient symptoms or medical history

  • Failing to monitor a patient’s condition properly

Some errors are immediately obvious, while others cause harm over months or even years.

Time Limits to File a Medical Malpractice Claim

Each state has its own statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims. In general:

  • Pennsylvania: 2 years from the date you discovered or reasonably should have discovered the injury.
  • Florida: 2 years from the date the incident occurred or was discovered, but no more than 4 years total (with some exceptions).

Don’t delay—waiting too long could cost you your right to recover.

Related Questions (SERP-Style FAQs)

What should I do if I suspect medical malpractice?

  • Get a second opinion and gather all relevant medical records. Then, contact a qualified attorney immediately.

Can I sue a hospital for a doctor’s mistake?

  • Possibly. Hospitals can be liable if the doctor is an employee or if the hospital itself was negligent in hiring, supervising, or maintaining safety protocols.

How much is a medical malpractice case worth?

  • Every case is different. Factors include the extent of your injuries, cost of care, and lost income. We can help you calculate damages.

Will I need expert witnesses?

  • Yes. Nearly all medical malpractice claims require testimony from a licensed medical expert to establish the standard of care and how it was breached.
