(Policy Limits)A temporary tracheotomy is a short-term medical device intended to assist a patient with breathing for a limited period, typically removed within days of placement.
In this case, the treating medical facility failed to follow basic standards of care and left the tracheotomy in place for more than 50 consecutive days.
What should have been a temporary measure became a source of severe, life-threatening infection that caused our client significant pain, additional hospitalization, and long-term health complications.
The failure of the medical team to monitor and remove the device in a timely manner constituted clear medical negligence.
Florida pursued the case aggressively on behalf of our client and secured the full policy limits of $1,000,000.00, holding the negligent medical provider fully accountable.
When those trusted with your health fail you, we are here to make sure justice is served.
