How to initiate a medical malpractice action of a child

In a West Palm Beach lawsuit for child medical malpractice, malpractice can occur during the delivery of an infant, with misdiagnosis of a child, or failure to diagnosis a child with an illness, injury, or other medical condition. Additionally, a claim can be maintained against a pediatrician for malpractice for failing to diagnosis a child with a medical condition that results in serious injury or impairment. For example, if a pediatrician fails to make a proper diagnosis in reading a child's x-ray, the child's parents may bring a cause of action for medical malpractice against the physician.

Under Florida law, a cause of action for medical malpractice is defined as a claim in tort or in contract for damages because of the death, injury, or monetary loss to any person arising out of any medical, dental, or surgical diagnosis, treatment, or care by any provider of health care. Medical negligence means medical malpractice, whether grounded in tort or in contract. Additionally, health care providers include licensed physicians, osteopaths, podiatrists, optometrists, dentists, chiropractors, pharmacists, or hospitals or ambulatory surgical centers.
