Hospital Negligence Attorney in Miami

We review your medical records, gather evidence, and consult with experts to determine whether the hospital or its staff failed to provide proper care and caused your injury. By carefully documenting the link between the negligence and your harm, we can build a strong case on your behalf.

Medical malpractice usually involves errors made by individual healthcare providers, like doctors or nurses. Hospital negligence, on the other hand, refers to systemic failures at the facility, such as unsafe conditions, understaffing, or poor policies, and also includes the negligence of its employees such as nurses, techs, etc. Our team can help you understand which applies to your situation.

Start by keeping copies of all medical records and documenting everything related to your care. Contacting our attorneys early can help protect your rights, preserve important evidence, and clarify whether you have a valid claim.

In most cases, you have two years from the date the injury was—or should have been—discovered to file a claim. Certain situations, like cases involving minors, may extend this timeline. Acting promptly ensures your claim is filed within the legal deadlines.

Yes. A consent form does not excuse medical negligence. While patients often consent to known risks of a procedure, doctors and hospitals are still required to meet the accepted standard of care. If an injury was caused by a preventable error, improper treatment, or a failure to follow medical protocols, there may still be grounds for a claim.

In most situations, no. Hospitals with emergency departments are generally required under federal law to provide emergency medical treatment regardless of a patient’s ability to pay. Once a patient is stabilized, hospitals may transfer or discharge them in accordance with medical guidelines. Improper refusal, delay, or discharge of care may support a hospital negligence claim.

The Alvarez Law Firm handles hospital negligence cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no upfront costs. Attorney fees are only collected if compensation is recovered through a settlement or verdict, allowing patients and families to pursue justice without financial risk.
