Orlando Regional Medical Center Malpractice
When Orlando Regional Medical Center commits medical malpractice does it take responsibility for injury and death to its patients? Or, does ORMC try to avoid responsibility for medical malpractice incidents? As Orlando medical malpractice lawyers, we have seen first-hand the tactics that Orlando Regional Medical Center uses to escape accountability for harm to its patients.
Despite the constitutional amendment which permits injured patients and their families to obtain incident reports about injury or death that occurs at Florida hospitals, Orlando Regional Medical Center will not voluntarily disclose those reports. Even though this amendment was passed overwhelming by Florida voters, ORMC seeks to avoid its application. Even when a lawsuit is filed, in part, to determine what happened to a patient, this hospital refuses to provide a copy of the incident report. Rather than disclose the report Orlando Regional Medical Center's team of medical malpractice lawyers object to any such disclosure.
If Orlando Regional Medical Center had nothing to hide why would it behave this way? The answer is obvious; too many patients will never take the steps necessary to find out how the medical malpractice occurred if the hospital conceals this information. By employing such tactics the hospital knows that many patients or grief-stricken family members may never contact an Orlando medical malpractice lawyer. Even when the medical malpractice results in serious injury or death these tactics used by Orlando Regional Medical Center may well prevent it from being held accountable.
