Common situations include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and failure to obtain informed consent. If you suspect something went wrong, the right first step is to immediately have one of our exceptional medical malpractice attorneys conduct a comprehensive case review. - How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case? **Yes**. Under Fla. [Stat. § 766.106](https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2023/766.106), the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims in Florida is two years from the date you knew or should have known about the injury, with an outer limit of four years from the date of the incident under [Fla. Stat. § 95.11(4)(b)](https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2023/95.11). Florida also requires a mandatory pre-suit investigation period before a lawsuit can be filed. This time limit can work against you if you wait too long and hesitate to contact us. - Is there a time limit for filing a medical malpractice lawsuit in Florida? Medical records are the foundation of every malpractice case. Beyond that, expert testimony from qualified physicians in the same field is required by Florida law before a lawsuit can be filed. Witness statements from anyone who observed the care you received, and documentation of your resulting injuries and expenses, round out a strong claim. - What evidence matters most in a medical malpractice case? Do not sign anything before consulting one of our experienced Florida medical malpractice attorneys. Release agreements and early settlement offers are designed to limit the medical provider's liability, often for an amount of money far less than your claim is worth. We review any documents before you sign and protect your rights throughout the process. - A doctor or hospital asked me to sign a release.
