Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as medical malpractice in Florida?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care and that deviation causes harm to a patient. Common examples include surgical errors, failure to diagnose a condition, prescription errors, anesthesia mistakes, and birth injuries. Florida law requires a pre-suit investigation before filing a malpractice claim.

How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim in Florida?

Florida's statute of limitations for medical malpractice is generally two years from the date you discovered — or reasonably should have discovered — the injury. There is also an absolute four-year statute of repose in most cases. Given these tight deadlines, it is important to consult an attorney as soon as possible.

What damages can I recover in a medical malpractice case?

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, and in some cases punitive damages. Florida law caps non-economic damages in certain malpractice cases, which is something our attorneys will evaluate for your specific situation.

Do I need an expert to prove my case?

Yes. Florida law requires a medical expert affidavit before filing suit, confirming that a reasonable basis exists for the claim. Our firm works with qualified medical experts to build a thorough case on your behalf.

How much does it cost to hire Gonzalez Munoz Law for a malpractice case?
