Understanding Florida Medical Malpractice Laws
Florida's medical malpractice laws are complex and have specific requirements. Our Miami attorneys help you navigate these legal challenges to protect your rights.
Pre-Suit Investigation Requirement
Florida law requires a thorough pre-suit investigation before filing a medical malpractice lawsuit. This includes obtaining a sworn affidavit from a medical expert stating that there are reasonable grounds to believe malpractice occurred. Our Miami attorneys handle this complex process for you.
Florida's Statute of Limitations
In Florida, you generally have two years from the date you discovered (or should have discovered) the injury to file a medical malpractice lawsuit, but no more than four years from when the malpractice occurred. There are exceptions for cases involving fraud or cases involving children. Our Miami attorneys ensure your claim is filed on time.
Damage Caps and Recent Changes
Florida previously had caps on non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases, but the Florida Supreme Court ruled these caps unconstitutional. Our Miami attorneys stay current on these legal changes to maximize your compensation under current Florida law.
