When you are admitted to a hospital in Miami, you are placing your life in the hands of an entire system. You trust that the institution itself—not just your doctor—has the proper procedures, staffing, and safety protocols in place to provide adequate care. When a hospital fails in this fundamental duty, and a patient is harmed by a systemic failure, the hospital itself can and should be held liable.
At Florida Injury Solutions Group, we understand the difference between an individual doctor’s mistake and negligence at an institutional level. Our experienced legal team investigates these complex cases to hold hospitals accountable for putting profits ahead of patient safety and causing preventable harm.
If you or a loved one suffered an injury because of a hospital’s negligence, you have the right to seek justice. Contact our experienced attorneys for a Free, Completely Confidential Case Evaluation.
While it can overlap with a doctor’s error, hospital negligence focuses on the failures of the institution as a whole. This includes the actions of its employees (under the legal doctrine of vicarious liability) and its own corporate policies and procedures.
Our firm handles a wide range of hospital negligence claims, including those arising from:
Understaffing: Insufficient numbers of nurses or support staff leading to patient neglect, medication errors, and failure to monitor patients properly.
Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs): Patients developing serious infections like sepsis or MRSA due to unsanitary conditions, unsterilized equipment, or poor hygiene protocols.
Hiring and Retention Failures: Employing doctors, nurses, or technicians without proper credentials, training, or with a known history of incompetence or misconduct.
Communication Breakdowns: Systemic failures in communication between doctors, nurses, and different hospital departments, leading to critical errors in patient care.
Medication Errors: Mistakes caused by flawed pharmacy procedures, look-alike drug packaging stored together, or faulty electronic health record (EHR) systems.
Patient Fall Incidents: Failure to implement proper fall-risk protocols for elderly, medicated, or vulnerable patients.
Emergency Room Errors: Negligence caused by overcrowding, triage mistakes, or failure to get a specialist consult in a timely manner.
Faulty or Poorly Maintained Equipment: Injuries caused by malfunctioning beds, IV pumps, monitoring devices, or other hospital equipment.
Hospitals are generally responsible for the negligent actions of their employees—including nurses, technicians, and resident doctors—that occur within the scope of their employment. If a nurse administers the wrong medication or a technician fails to follow a safety protocol, the hospital can be held legally responsible for the resulting harm.
Taking on a major hospital requires a deep investigation into its internal operations. The legal team at Florida Injury Solutions Group will:

Engage Hospital Administration and Nursing Experts:
We work with a network of respected healthcare administration experts who can testify about how the hospital’s systemic failures breached the national standard of care.
Uncover Patterns of Negligence:
We investigate whether the hospital has a history of similar incidents, safety violations, or complaints.
Experience with Institutional Liability: We have the specific knowledge required to build a case against a large corporate or public hospital system.
Thorough and Tenacious Investigators: We leave no stone unturned in our quest to uncover the root cause of the negligence that harmed you.
