Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care and that deviation causes injury to the patient. This includes errors by doctors, surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists, hospitals, and other healthcare providers. Florida law requires a medical expert to confirm the merit of your claim before a lawsuit can be filed.
Florida's statute of limitations for medical malpractice is generally two years from the date you discovered (or should have discovered) the injury, with an absolute maximum of four years from the date of the incident. There are exceptions for fraud, concealment, and cases involving minors. Contact an attorney immediately to protect your rights.
There is no upfront cost. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if you win. The fee is a percentage of your recovery, and if we don't win your case, you owe us nothing. We also advance all costs for medical expert reviews, court filing fees, and other expenses.
Florida law requires medical malpractice plaintiffs to conduct a pre-suit investigation before filing a lawsuit. This includes having a medical expert review the case and provide a verified written opinion that the standard of care was breached. Your attorney then sends a notice of intent to the healthcare provider, triggering a mandatory 90-day investigation period before suit can be filed.
Florida law allows recovery for past and future medical expenses, lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, mental anguish, disability, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life. In wrongful death cases, surviving family members can recover for their own losses including loss of companionship, support, and services.
