What You Need to Know About Medical Malpractice in Florida
Florida law imposes strict requirements before a lawsuit can be filed. The process includes:
- A detailed investigation of the medical care provided
- Independent expert review confirming negligence
- Formal pre-suit notice to the healthcare provider
- Compliance with strict statute of limitations deadlines
In most cases, victims have two years from the date the negligence was discovered—or should have been discovered—to file a claim.
Missing this deadline can permanently bar recovery.
If you suspect medical negligence, early legal review is essential.

What Are ‘Damages’ in a Medical Negligence Claim?
Damages are money claimed in compensation or awarded for a loss or injury. They are intended to return the injured party to the position they would have been had the injury not happened.
There are two types of damages in personal injury medical negligence lawsuits:
- Compensatory damages are calculated based on the injured party’s actual losses and can be economic or non-economic. Economic damages are objective losses, such as medical bills and therapy costs, while non-economic damages are subjective losses, such as pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.
- Punitive damages are awarded by courts to punish wrongdoers for especially harmful behavior and deter future misconduct. They are awarded in addition to compensatory damages.
