In Florida, there really is not a separate tort for medical malpractice. Instead, the tort is one for personal injury or wrongful death, and medical malpractice constitutes the negligence. A suit for medical/dental malpractice is an action in tort for the negligent infliction of personal injury or wrongful death in the course of medical treatment by someone who is considered a medical professional; i.e., doctor, surgeon, physician’s assistant. Since medical professionals profess to have special knowledge and skills, the law holds them to the standard of a reasonably proficient physician, not simply the standard of a reasonable prudent man. In medical malpractice, the Plaintiff must establish that they were owed a duty of care by proving that there was a patient-doctor relationship, whether expressed or implied, between the Plaintiff and the physician. The Plaintiff must also establish that the physician breached their duty of care by falling below the standard of a reasonably proficient physician. Then the Plaintiff must prove that, but for, the negligence of the physician, the Plaintiff would not have been injured. Finally, the Plaintiff must also prove what damages were caused by the medical malpractice.
