Fort Lauderdale medical malpractice attorneys Cohn, Smith and Cohn represent people throughout the State of Florida who were injured because a medical professional provided them with substandard care.

Medical malpractice is a serious issue that plagues our healthcare system. Such malpratice may be commited by doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other healthcare providers in various doctor-patient interactions:

• a doctor misdiagnoses or provides a delayed diagnosis of a patient's condition;
• a physician incorrectly performs a surgical procedure during an operation;
• a pharmacist improperly fills or dispenses medication;
• an anesthesiologist fails to monitor the effect of the anesthesia on the patient's condition during surgery;
• a cosmetic surgeon botches a liposuction, tummy tuck or breast implant during plastic surgery and disfigures the patient; and
• an OB/GYN fails to notice and respond to signs of fetal distress, such that the newborn suffers cerebral palsy or other birth injuries during the delivery.

Medical professionals who fail to treat patients in a manner consistent with the acceptable standard of care may be required to compensate their patients for corrective medical care, lost wages, diminished earnings and other damages.  Very often, medical malpractice injuries are severe and life changing. Our attorneys are dedicated to representing injured patients, and will handle your case with compassion and professionalism. We will use our experience to make sure that all of your questions are answered, and your needs are met quickly.
