Stroke After Surgery: When Post-Operative Strokes Become Malpractice in Florida

A stroke after surgery is one of the most frightening post-operative complications because it can change a person’s life in minutes. Families often describe a confusing timeline: the surgery seemed to go well, the patient was waking up, and then something suddenly went wrong. In other cases, the signs were subtle at first, such as slurred speech, unusual sleepiness, a drooping face, or one-sided weakness that a loved one noticed before the clinical team did. Post-operative strokes can happen after major procedures like cardiac or vascular surgery, but they can also occur after routine operations when underlying risk factors are...

At Bounds Law Group, we represent families throughout Florida in complex birth injury and medical malpractice cases. One of the most time-sensitive and preventable forms of negligence we investigate is the failure to diagnose and respond to placental abruption during pregnancy or labor.

Wrongful Death in Medical Malpractice: What Families Should Know

A sudden death following a medical visit, hospitalization, surgery, or missed diagnosis can leave a family reeling and searching for answers. Grief often mixes with confusion: Was the outcome unavoidable, or did a preventable medical error play a role? In Florida, a wrongful death claim can arise when a patient dies because a health care provider failed to meet the accepted standard of care. These cases are not about second-guessing every difficult medical decision. They focus on whether reasonable and competent medical professionals in similar circumstances would have acted differently, and whether that difference would likely have prevented the death....

Failure to Diagnose Pulmonary Embolism in Florida: When a Missed Blood Clot Becomes Fatal
