In-House Physician & Network Of Skilled Professionals

To successfully represent victims of medical malpractice, our experienced trial lawyers closely monitor the persistent legislative changes that affect the ability of patients to recover compensation from healthcare providers who are negligent and cause injury or death.

In addition to our own in-house physician, we have long-standing relationships with a network of currently practicing prominent physician and nurse experts in multiple fields of medicine.

These resources are invaluable in allowing for thorough, prompt investigations of claims against healthcare providers, including identifying the applicable standards of care for the physicians and nurses whose care is being investigated and understanding how breaches in those standards of care can lead to serious injury and death.

FAQs About Medical Malpractice in Florida

Generally, a medical malpractice claim must be filed within two years of when the malpractice occurred or within two years of when an injury is discovered that is related to the malpractice. Once the statute of limitations expires, your ability to bring a claim is barred forever.

There are exceptions, however, which means it is very important to contact an attorney familiar with malpractice claims and the laws which govern them to determine the date by which your claim must be filed.
