Miami Medical Malpractice Lawyer

Florida’s laws are purposely designed to protect doctors and hospitals and not patients. For instance, sadly doctors in Florida are permitted to practice medicine without medical malpractice insurance.Florida Statutes govern under what circumstances a doctor or hospital can be sued for their mistakes.

Florida Statutes provides that claims for medical malpractice must be initiated within two years from the date that the incident is or should have been discovered and no more than four years from when the mistake happened. This is commonly referred to as the Statute of Limitations for Medical Malpractice.

If, however, a doctor or hospital hides the mistake from the patient the time is extended an additional two years but no more than seven years from the mistake. This allows and even encourages some unscrupulous health care providers to hide or conceal their mistakes in the hope that the patient never discovers them.

Miami Medical Malpractice attorney Spencer Aronfeld successfully represented a Miami mother in a lawsuit against a Miami Hospital for performing an unwanted circumcision. Click here to read the complaint.

Florida Statute §766 provides the complex rules and regulations on how to initiate a medical malpractice case in Florida. Experts are required by injured patients and must have very particular credentials in order to verify and testify against doctors or hospitals. The Florida Medical Malpractice Statute is one of the most complex and doctor-friendly statutory schemes in the country. The law makes it very difficult for injured patients and their families to get justice because it is designed to protect doctors, hospitals and their insurance companies.
If you have a potential medical malpractice case in Florida it is important to consult with a knowledgeable and experienced Florida medical malpractice attorney in order to protect your legal rights as soon as you realize you may have a claim.
