What Injuries Could Warrant an Orthopedic Malpractice Case?
Since orthopedic doctors are trained to treat musculoskeletal conditions — conditions relating to the skeleton and the muscles — their negligence can have terrible consequences for years to come.
Injuries that might qualify for a case include:
- ACL reconstruction errors
- Aggravated conditions from improper treatment
- Amputation caused by improper cast application
- Bones that fail to heal due to improper setting
- Damaged nerves
- Hip or knee replacement errors
- Orthopedic conditions left to progress due to misdiagnosis
Orthopedic surgeons may also induce a coma or cause a dangerous condition in which hospital staff need to. In extreme cases, orthopedic malpractice could result in death.
Some other medical mistakes classified as orthopedic malpractice include:
- Improper cast application
- Improper setting of broken or fractured bones
- Insufficient or improper post-surgery care
- Misreading CT scans, MRIs or X-rays
- Operating on the wrong body part
- Operating in unsafe conditions, such as an insufficient office
- Surgical equipment left in the body
Do I Have a Case?
Because orthopedics is such a specialized medical field, cases of orthopedic malpractice tend to be very complex and require in-depth knowledge of the victim’s condition, as well as the factors that allowed the malpractice to occur. Not every injury caused by a doctor is considered malpractice; to be deemed as such, the law requires negligence, carelessness or irresponsibility on the part of the doctor. Therefore, if you believe you suffered due to orthopedic malpractice, you and your legal representation will have to further prove that the orthopedic doctor or surgeon owed a professional standard of care to you. Then you must show that they violated it and injured you in the process.
Statute of Limitations
The statute of limitations in the state of Florida allows victims of orthopedic malpractice two years from the date of their injury or from the time the malpractice was or should have been reasonably discovered to file a claim. Depending on the circumstances, victims sometimes have up two or four years, but it is inadvisable to wait to take legal action. It is prudent to contact a reputable lawyer as soon as you discover malpractice occurred.
