Medical Malpractice is a form of negligence where a patient suffers an injury or, at worst, death from the failure of a medical professional or medical facility to exercise reasonable care, skill or diligence in performing a duty. The determination of whether a duty of care is met depends upon the standard of care for that professional or facility in their community. In other words, the applicable duty arises from the accepted practices of other professionals or facilities in the same field and geographical area.

In the case of a doctor who is a medical specialist, the standard of care is determined by the standard of good medical practice in that specialty within the community. When someone dies as a result of medical negligence the patient’s survivors may sue under the Florida Wrongful Death Act (F.S., 786, 17-21).
