Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case?
If your injury resulted from a medical provider’s carelessness or failure to meet professional standards, you may have a valid claim.
Who can be held liable in a malpractice case?
Doctors, nurses, surgeons, anesthesiologists, hospitals, and even pharmacies may share liability depending on the circumstances.
Is there a time limit to file a claim in Florida?
Yes. In Florida, you generally have two years from the date the malpractice was discovered, or should have been discovered, to file a lawsuit.
What kind of evidence is needed for a malpractice case?
Medical records, expert testimony, and treatment documentation are key to proving negligence. Our firm handles the process of gathering and presenting this evidence.
What if I signed a consent form?
Signing a consent form does not excuse negligence. Providers must still perform their duties competently and safely.
