Florida law has specific requirements for pursuing medical malpractice claims, including pre-suit investigations and strict deadlines. We are well-versed in handling cases involving hospitals, doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers in Central Florida. Proving medical negligence requires demonstrating a deviation from the accepted standard of care, which our firm is prepared to do with thorough investigation and expert testimony.
Common Questions
When clients meet with an Orlando Medical Malpractice Attorney, the same questions often come up.
- Do I have a case? You generally have a case if a healthcare professional’s negligence fell below the accepted standard of care, directly causing you harm.
- What are the deadlines? Florida has a two-year statute of limitations from the date the malpractice was discovered (or should have been discovered), but no more than four years from the date of the incident (with some exceptions).
- Is it expensive? No, at Maaswinkel Law, there are no upfront fees; we only get paid if we win your case (contingency fee basis).
- Can I sue a hospital? Yes, hospitals can be held liable for the negligence of their employees or for systemic failures, depending on the circumstances.
