According to the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, there have been multiple payments to victims of malpractice at Mt. Sinai Medical Center who died as a result of the care received. Our legal team represented the family of one of the deceased patients in a lawsuit against Mount Sinai Hospital.
In that case, a 41-year-old husband, father, and military veteran arrived at Mt. Sinai Medical Center to correct an issue with his heart. Unfortunately, the health care providers at Mt. Sinai Medical Center made a variety of surgical errors that ultimately led to his death.
While every hospital must implement policies and procedures to protect patients, this instance illustrates the devastating consequences of deviations from accepted standards of care. The inadequate communication between health care providers resulted in a catastrophic loss that could have been prevented had the proper safeguards been upheld.
