Re: Medical Malpractice

Generally, in florida you have 2 years from when you knew or reasonably should have known of the negligence to file a suit. It can be difficult to calculate, but from what you post, the time may very well have already expired. You need to speak with a lawyer right away to see if you are even able to file a claim or if the time to do so has expired.
