Florida Negligent Early Discharge Lawyers

Skilled Wrongful Premature Medical Discharge Attorneys in Lake Worth, FL Advocate for Clients’ Rights After Harm Caused by Negligent Early Discharge in Palm Beach County, Broward County and Across South Florida

When you are admitted to a hospital or other medical facility, the day that you get to return home is usually one that is celebrated. In-patient treatment for injuries or illnesses is stressful, uncomfortable and inevitably expensive, so returning to the comforts of your own home should be a positive development. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. The negligent early discharge of patients from hospitals and other treatment facilities in Palm Beach County and throughout South Florida often exacerbates conditions from which the patient has yet to fully recover, and can actually result in the need for much more extensive and ongoing treatment—in other words, medical care that is required to treat conditions that might not exist had the patient simply remained in the initial facility for the proper amount of time. Our Florida negligent early discharge lawyers can help you.

Gonzalez & Cartwright Fight for Your Rights When Negligent Early Discharge Amounts to Medical Malpractice

Discharging a patient before that patient has fully recovered is not actionable medical malpractice in every single case. In order to pursue a claim that a medical professional’s early discharge of a patient was negligent, and thus amounted to medical malpractice, it is first necessary to establish that a similarly situated medical professional would not have discharged the patient given the circumstances of the case. To do this, our Florida negligent early discharge lawyers will consult with expert witnesses who will give their sworn opinion that someone with similar medical training would not have discharged the patient from care.

This, however, also is not sufficient to establish a cause of action for negligent early discharge. We will also work tirelessly to establish how you were harmed because of the negligent early discharge by showing, for example, that:

The key factor in these cases is establishing that the harm you suffered would not have occurred if not for the negligent early discharge. For example, if you developed a post-surgical infection that caused you additional harm after your doctor released you early after surgery, and a reasonable doctor would not have released you so early, the harm is only actionable after establishing that you likely would not have developed that infection but for the negligent early discharge.

Frequently Asked Questions About Negligent Early Discharge Cases in South Florida

What type of compensation can I receive after being the victim of negligent early discharge from a hospital, and what type of harm do I have to show?

The harm itself can also take on a variety of forms, including increased medical expenses that would not have been necessary if you had remained in the hospital for the proper amount of time. Additional pain and suffering caused by the early discharge, as well as loss of enjoyment of life or lost earning capacity resulting from a worsened or new condition may be available depending upon the circumstances.

I think that I was released from the hospital too early, and that’s what caused my condition to worsen, but don’t understand how I can prove that negligent early discharge was the cause?

Our experienced negligent early discharge lawyers have the resources necessary to conduct a full investigation, which includes extensive consultation with experts in the field, to determine what happened in your case—as well as the likely results had you remained in the hospital for the appropriate amount of time. We know that medical malpractice cases can be confusing, but we are dedicated to helping our clients sort through these issues and will put all of our resources to work to protect your right to fair compensation.
