Is it too late to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Florida?

Generally, yes, if too much time has passed. Under Fla. Stat. § 95.11(4)(c), the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in Florida is generally two years from the date the incident was or should have been discovered, with a maximum limit of four years from the date of the incident. There are exceptions, particularly for young children or in cases of fraudulent concealment. To determine if your claim is still viable, contact The Altman Law Firm. Jeffrey S.
