Can I sue for medical malpractice for a miscarriage?

The costs likely would far exceed a recovery, even assuming a breach of the standard of care.

I am very sorry for your loss. I am not from your state but often states do not permit claims based on harm to a fetus of a certain gestational age. I suspect Florida may severely limit such claims though they may feel differently when an abortion is involved. You should check with local counsel. Malpractice is care and treatment that falls below the standard of care and causes injury. The standard of care is basically the level at which the average, prudent provider in a given community would practice. It is how similarly qualified practitioners would have managed the patient's care under the same or similar circumstances. Injury typically must be severe or permanent in order for the claim to be economically feasible to pursue even if there is malpractice. These cases are very expensive and risky to pursue. Unless it appears there would be a meaningful economic recovery to the patient the cases are cost prohibitive to pursue. In order to find out if you were the victim of negligence, you need to retain a lawyer willing to investigate the claim. The lawyer will gather your medical records and have them reviewed by a medical expert who will be asked to offer an opinion as to whether 1. the care and treatment you received fell below the applicable standard of care and 2. caused an injury. There is no claim to pursue unless and until such an opinion is secured. Also, you realize you are in a Republican state, right? You​ state under the canard that there were frivolous lawsuits harming your access to medical care passed laws that severely limit the rights of ordinary folks to seek justice.

I would contact a medical malpractice attorney immediately; you need to discuss the details of your situation in full. A review of the records is necessary.r

I suggest that you file a formal complaint with the state agency which licenses the nurse practitioner and the medical facility. Nothing you have posted indicates that medical negligence was committed here. An expert in OB/GYN would need to review your records to see if they have a contrary opinion. You should obtain needed medical care and treatment immediately and follow the doctor's advice. Do not give any statements to the adverse party or insurance company nor grant them access to any medical records. Photograph the injuries and the damage done to any property. Contact a personal injury attorney in your area as soon as possible so that you can protect your rights.
