Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Florida?
Florida has a two-year statute of limitations from the date the injury was discovered. However, there is an overall four-year deadline from the date of the incident. Exceptions may apply for fraud or minors.
Do I need a pre-suit screening before filing a claim in Florida?
Yes, Florida law requires a pre-suit investigation including a sworn affidavit from a medical expert. This must be served on the defendant at least 90 days before filing a lawsuit. This process helps filter out non-meritorious claims.
What damages can I recover in a Florida medical malpractice case?
You may recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages. You can also seek non-economic damages for pain and suffering, though Florida caps these at certain amounts depending on the case type. Punitive damages are rare.
