Common Eye Injuries Caused by Ophthalmology Malpractice
We rely on our eyes to see and process the world around us. But eyes are complex, fragile structures that can easily incur severe damage if an ophthalmologist fails to meet the appropriate standards of care.
A Gordon & Partners vision loss attorney in Florida can provide you with skilled legal services to help recoup damages after injuries or complications tied to ophthalmologist negligence. This includes but is not limited to, common negligence-caused eye injuries such as:
- Debilitating damage to the iris, pupil, cornea, or lens of your eye
- Debilitating damage to the optic nerve
- Permanent or partial loss of vision
- Chronic blurry vision
- Chronic dry eyes
- Loss of contrast, color, or depth perception
- Eye loss
If your injury occurred during a LASIK procedure, our Florida LASIK malpractice lawyers can further support you as you seek compensation for unfortunate side effects of LASIK surgery, such as infection, excess tearing, astigmatism, or loss of night vision.
Ophthalmology Malpractice Examples and Causes
In order to win a case of medical malpractice, it must be established that your healthcare provider acted negligently and failed to uphold the standards of care in their field. An ophthalmologist malpractice attorney in Florida can help you do this by finding evidence to prove that your eye doctor acted in one or more negligent ways, including:
- Failure to properly diagnose or diagnosing too late
- Surgical injuries or negligence
- Lack of proper post-surgical care or instructions
- Acting without informed consent from the patient
- Off-label use of medical devices or medications
Medical professionals are humans, and humans make mistakes. But if the mistake they made was caused by their own negligence – and that mistake caused you harm and damages – you have the right to seek justice. Contact a Gordon & Partners eye injury lawyer in Florida as soon as possible to schedule your free consultation.
