What is the pre-suit process required before filing a nursing home lawsuit in Florida?

Florida law requires plaintiffs to fulfill specific pre-suit obligations under Fla. Stat. § 400.0233 before filing a civil complaint for nursing home negligence: 1. Conduct an initial investigation, gathering medical records, shift logs, and regulatory inspection reports. 2. Serve a formal Notice of Intent to Initiate Litigation upon each prospective defendant via certified mail. 3. Participate in a mandatory 75-day pre-suit evaluation period during which the parties exchange medical records, discuss liability, and determine whether the matter can be resolved prior to formal litigation.
