The Statute of Limitations for Medical Malpractice Claims
Contact Marjorie Chalfant, RN, JD at The Nurse Attorney, PLLC
Lawsuits (both civil and criminal) are governed by time period deadlines by which a lawsuit must be filed, known as the statute of limitations. These statutes of limitations are codified within each state’s statutes and serve to establish the length of time or deadline for a plaintiff to file a lawsuit for the specific type of case. Florida medical malpractice laws are very harsh and only allow a two-year deadline to formally pursue a malpractice claim. This two-year deadline is often too soon after the medical malpractice incident and many cases of malpractice are dismissed without receiving justice. Because medical malpractice cases are much more difficult to pursue than other types of injury or wrongful death claims, time is of the essence. It is important to retain an attorney without delay, and it only makes sense to retain an attorney who has medical knowledge and background experience in handling medical malpractice cases. Contact Marjorie Chalfant, RN, JD at The Nurse Attorney, PLLC, immediately.
