March 29, 2025

MIAMI, March 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Law Offices of Jason Turchin, a national personal injury firm, is educating Florida residents on how medical malpractice cases work in the state. Victims of negligent medical care may be entitled to compensation, but Florida has strict laws that can make these cases complex.

“Medical malpractice cases in Florida often require experience and a deep understanding of the law,” says Jason Turchin, Esq., a personal injury attorney who has handled numerous malpractice claims. “Victims generally deserve answers and justice when medical care goes wrong.”

What Is Medical Malpractice in Florida?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the standard of care, resulting in injury or death. This may include:

Surgical errors

Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis

Medication mistakes

Birth injuries

Anesthesia complications

Florida‘s Pre-Suit Requirements

Florida law generally requires a specific pre-suit process before a medical malpractice lawsuit can be filed:

Notice of Intent – The victim must notify the healthcare provider of the intent to sue.

Expert Affidavit – A qualified medical expert must confirm that malpractice likely occurred.

90-Day Investigation Period – The provider has 90 days to respond, during which settlement negotiations may take place.

Time Limits to File a Claim

Florida has a two-year statute of limitations, meaning victims generally have two years from the date they knew or should have known about the malpractice. There are some exceptions, such as fraud or cases involving minors.

Potential Compensation

Medical malpractice victims may be entitled to compensation for:

Medical bills

Lost wages

Pain and suffering

Disability or disfigurement

Wrongful death (for surviving family members)
