Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in Florida?
In Florida, you generally have two years from the date of the incident or from when you discovered the injury to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. There is a four-year cap from the date of the incident, with limited exceptions for fraud or concealment.
Do I need a pre-suit notice before filing a medical malpractice lawsuit in Florida?
Yes, Florida law requires a pre-suit investigation period. You must send a notice of intent to sue to the healthcare provider at least 90 days before filing a lawsuit. This allows time for review and possible settlement negotiations.
