Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the standard of care, resulting in harm to a patient.

Understanding Medical Malpractice in Florida
Medical malpractice can arise from various forms of negligence, including:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Surgical errors
- Medication mistakes
- Birth injuries
- Anesthesia complications
- Hospital negligence
- Failure to obtain informed consent
These errors can lead to severe physical, emotional, and financial burdens. If you believe you have been a victim of medical malpractice, seeking legal guidance is essential.
Florida Medical Malpractice Laws
Florida has strict laws governing medical malpractice cases. Victims must prove that a healthcare provider breached the accepted standard of care, directly causing their injuries. Additionally, Florida imposes a two-year statute of limitations, meaning you must file your claim within two years from the date of discovery of the injury. Some exceptions may apply, so it is crucial to consult a skilled attorney as soon as possible.
Another key requirement in Florida is the pre-suit investigation, which involves obtaining an expert medical opinion to confirm that malpractice occurred. Our legal team handles every step of this process to ensure your case meets all necessary legal criteria.
Seeking Compensation for Medical Malpractice
Victims of medical negligence in Florida may be entitled to recover damages for:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Wrongful death (in fatal malpractice cases)
Insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts, making it essential to have an aggressive legal advocate on your side. Our attorneys work diligently to build strong cases, negotiate settlements, and take matters to court if necessary.
