We Abide By Florida’s Medical Malpractice Statute of Limitations to Protect Your Interests
At Freidin Brown, P.A., we understand the urgency and sensitivity of adhering to Florida’s Medical Malpractice Statute of Limitations. With limited exceptions, Florida law generally allows two years from the injury date for filing a medical malpractice lawsuit, as per Florida Statutes § 95.11 (4)(c). This deadline is crucial; missing it could mean losing your right to legal recourse, even with compelling evidence of a medical error.
Before beginning a lawsuit, Florida law requires specific steps. This includes serving a notice of intent to sue and presenting an affidavit of merit from a medical expert, as mandated by Florida Statutes § 766.203. This pre-suit process, which can extend up to 90 days, temporarily pauses the statute of limitations, adding another layer to the legal timeline.
Our Freidin Brown, P.A. team is committed to managing these critical steps on your behalf. We will assist in obtaining the necessary expert affidavit and represent you during pre-suit negotiations. Our focus is to ensure your case is prepared and actions are taken within legal deadlines, allowing you to concentrate on your recovery while we handle the legal complexities.
