When you seek medical care, you trust that healthcare providers will offer the timely and appropriate treatment you need to recover.

Our experienced Miami attorneys have been trusted advocates for victims of failure to treat cases, relentlessly pursuing justice and holding negligent healthcare providers accountable.

What Is Failure to Treat?

Failure to treat occurs when a healthcare provider neglects to offer timely, adequate, or appropriate care for a patient’s condition. These failures are not only a breach of trust but also a violation of the standard of care medical professionals are legally required to uphold. Left unaddressed, these oversights can have far-reaching consequences for patients and their families.

Common Examples of Failure to Treat

Failure to treat can take many forms, including but not limited to:

  • Delayed Treatment: When critical interventions are postponed, allowing a condition to progress unnecessarily.
  • Premature Discharge: Discharging a patient before adequately stabilizing or monitoring their condition.
  • Failure to Recognize or Act on Symptoms: Ignoring symptoms that indicate a serious issue, such as a heart attack or infection, can lead to preventable complications.
  • Failure to Refer to a Specialist: Neglecting to direct the patient to a specialist for advanced or focused care can result in missed diagnoses or delayed treatment.

Each of these scenarios represents a serious lapse in medical care, often violating the trust patients place in healthcare providers. At Kurzban Kurzban Tetzeli & Pratt, we help clients identify these failures and pursue accountability.

Consequences of Failure to Treat

The effects of failure to treat can be life-altering. When timely or adequate care is not provided, patients often face:

  • Worsening Health Conditions: Untreated illnesses or injuries may worsen, reducing the likelihood of recovery.
  • Prolonged Recovery Times: Delays in care extend suffering and rehabilitation timelines unnecessarily.
  • Preventable Harm or Death: Some conditions, such as strokes or infections, require immediate response. Delayed care or missed treatment opportunities can result in fatalities.

Beyond the physical harm, the emotional strain and financial burden caused by failure to treat can deeply impact victims and their families. Mounting medical bills, lost income, and the psychological toll of medical negligence only compound the difficulty of recovery. The attorneys at Kurzban Kurzban Tetzeli & Pratt work tirelessly to address these challenges, advocating for fair compensation and justice on your behalf.

Proving Failure to Treat in Florida

Failure to treat cases are a specific subset of medical malpractice and often require substantial evidence to succeed. To prove that a medical provider’s negligence caused harm, your attorney will need to demonstrate the following key elements:

  1. Negligence: The healthcare provider failed to meet the accepted standard of medical care.
  2. Causation: This failure directly contributed to the patient’s worsening condition or injuries.
  3. Damages: Measurable harm occurred, such as financial loss, physical trauma, or emotional suffering.

These cases can be highly complex and often hinge on expert medical testimony. At Kurzban Kurzban Tetzeli & Pratt, we partner with leading medical professionals to evaluate records, provide expert opinions, and strengthen your claim. Our thorough approach ensures your case is both well-prepared and compelling.
