Understanding your case

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider's treatment falls below the accepted standard of care and causes harm. These cases typically require supporting opinions from qualified medical experts.

Florida law imposes specific pre-suit steps, including a notice of intent supported by a medical expert affidavit, followed by an investigation period before a lawsuit may be filed.

Florida law sets time limits for filing medical malpractice claims, and these deadlines can be affected by when the harm was or reasonably should have been discovered.

Depending on the circumstances, damages may include past and future medical expenses, lost income, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and other losses recognized under Florida law.
