How do I get compensated for injury and ongoing pain due to surgeon error?
Asked on Sep 10th, 2020 on Medical Malpractice - Florida
More details to this question:
While performing arthroscopic surgery on cartilage in my knee, the surgeon tore and strained my MCL. I have been treated by another physician for the damage and pain of the MCL till the physician treating me suggested I "just try to get used to the pain and get on with my life." This was a Workmans Comp injury.

Unfortunately youwill find that the damages are not sufficient to justify a med mal claim over a painful MCL strain. You can that the citizens of Florida for turning on the injury lawyers and forcing a contsitutional amendment for that result and driving most med mal lawyers out of the business or into only taking catastrophic injury cases
