Medical Malpractice

Medical negligence or “malpractice” occurs when a physician or healthcare provider falls below the standard of care and either fails to do something that should have been done or does something that should not have been done with a resulting injury or death. Doctors and other healthcare providers must follow certain standards when caring for patients.

It is important not wait to contact an experienced medical malpractice attorney if you or a loved one are injured because of the negligence of a doctor, surgeon, nurse, etc. There is a statute of limitations on the amount of time you can file a medical malpractice lawsuit. In Florida, there is a two-year statute of limitations for a malpractice claim. That means you have two years, starting from the date of the injury, to file a medical malpractice lawsuit.  If you don’t file within the time limit, you may be prevented from ever pursuing the justice and obtaining compensation.
