Failure to Diagnose:
A form of medical malpractice committed on behalf of a medical doctor. Florida
failure to diagnose has the potential to cause serious damage and even death to
patients who do not receive prompt and adequate medical care as needed because
of medical malpractice.
Field Sobriety Test (FST): Any number of
tests used by law enforcement officers, usually on the roadside, to determine
whether a driver is impaired. Most FSTs test balance, coordination and the
ability of the driver to divide his or her attention among several tasks as
once. Other tests, such as the horizontal gaze nystagmus test, are used to
measure a subject's impairment level.
Foreseeability: A key issue in determining
a person's liability. If a defendant could not reasonably have foreseen that
someone might be hurt by his or her actions, then there may be no liability.
