Do Not Forfeit Your Right to Bring a Claim
Under Florida law, ordinary negligence causes of action are subject to a four-year statute of limitations (the time limit to bring a claim). However, following an increasing trend among other states, Florida has codified a two-year statute of limitations for medical malpractice causes of action, with a four-year statute of repose, and a seven-year maximum cap for cases that involve fraud, concealment, or intentional misrepresentation by a prospective defendant health care provider. The only exception to this is when the claimant is a minor age eight or younger, in which case the seven-year period does not bar an action brought on behalf of a minor on or before the child's eighth birthday.
