What Are The Key Procedural Requirements In Medical Malpractice Cases?

There are often special requirements a plaintiff must fulfill before a lawsuit can be filed. Failing to adhere to any requirements could postpone the suit or cause the plaintiff to miss the statute of limitations deadline.

Under Florida Statues section 766.106, the plaintiff must notify each healthcare provider of the intent to file the lawsuit. Also known as a Notice of Claim, the notice must include:

1. All healthcare providers that treated them for the injuries stemming from the alleged malpractice
2. Copies of all medical records relied on by the plaintiff’s expert medical witness
3. All healthcare providers seen by the plaintiff in the last two years prior to the alleged malpractice

The plaintiff must wait at least 90 days after sending the notice before filing a medical malpractice lawsuit. During this 90-day period, they can conduct a “pre-suit investigation” into the claim if they choose to do so. At the end of the 90-day period, the defendant can choose to reject the claim, make a settlement offer, or admit liability.

The aftermath of a serious injury or wrongful death in the family is a stressful and confusing time. In addition to the physical and emotional pain, you may also be confronted with financial uncertainty as medical bills and other costs mount. If you were injured or lost someone you love due to another person’s negligence, you should not have to cover the associated costs out of your own pocket.

Our skilled personal injury attorneys & car accident lawyers in St Petersburg can review your case for free, answer your questions and help you make informed decisions. We will apply our many decades of experience to help you fight for the settlement or verdict you deserve.

Our attorneys have extensive litigation experience, which means we can see your case through to the end even if it means going all the way to trial. We have access to well-credentialed medical experts, economists and other specialists who often play a critical role in determining the outcome of personal injury cases.

Perhaps most important, we can make sure your claim accounts for all the damages you may be owed. In addition to economic damages such as medical bills and lost income, Florida law also allows for the recovery of non-economic damages and exemplary damages (punitive damages) in some circumstances.

Can a St. Petersburg Premises Liability Attorney Help Me Prove Liability?

For plaintiffs to file a personal injury claim, they must be able to prove that the possessor was negligent, or that they breached their duty of care. However, owners and persons in control of business establishments are not always subject to the same level of liability under Florida premises liability law. Our attorneys can help you determine which standards apply in your case.

How much the property owner will be held liable to compensate the victim for their damages generally depends upon how the victim is legally classified in relation to their status on the land. A premises liability lawyer can examine the facts of a case to help determine liability.

If you have been injured in an accident please call our office for a free consultation 727-821-1500.

Wife’s Lawsuit for Botched Colon Surgery Alleges Medical Malpractice and Wrongful Death Against Husband’s Surgeon and Hospital – Results in Early Confidential Settlement.

A grieving widow formed an Estate and filed a wrongful death lawsuit through Emerson Straw against her husband’s surgeon for negligently operating on his treatable form of colon cancer. The widow believed that the surgeon made errors during the surgery that led to preventable post-operative bowel complications. These serious, but avoidable, complications she contended culminated in her husband contracting infections and sepsis.

These complications were further missed by hospital staff members which resulted in a negligent delay in getting proper and immediate post-surgery follow-up care.
A confidential and significant settlement was reached with all parties on behalf of the Estate after the case was filed.

In Florida medical malpractice cases there can often be more than one at-fault party or wrongdoer. It is important for all victims of malpractice cases to hire astute counsel to fully investigate the facts, and let the objective facts lead counsel to identify and bring causes of action against all, not just some, of the responsible parties.
