Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Florida

Re: malpractice

The statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases is two years. However, one can extend the statute of limitations for an extra 90 days by filing certain forms in court. There is a tremendous amount of work to do before one can file a lawsuit. You really need to consult with an attorney who is skilled in this area. We would be happy to discuss your situation. We offer a free initial consultation, and our office is in Boca Raton.

Re: malpractice

depends om what you want to sue about.

GENERALLY:

torts (negligence, car accidents etcetera) is 4 years;

Professional negligence: 2 years

Medical malpractice 2 years, but very complicated to figure out, could be 4 years and even 7 under rare cionditions

contract: written is 5 years, oral is 4 years.

Claims agains the state require notice in 3 years.

DO NOT RELY ON THIS WITHOUT SPEAKING TO A LAWYER. Some things can lengthen a statute of limitations and some things can shorten them. Without details no one can give you certain advice.
