Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

Dear attorney-

I want to file a civil lawsuit against the State of Florida, for negligence and improper handling of my previous legal matters. How do I file the lawsuit?... I don't have the means to hire an attorney. Can I obtain the legal forms required and then mail them in to get things started?... Thanks, James
