Under Florida's statute of limitations, a medical malpractice claim generally must be filed within 2 years of the incident or within 2 years of when the incident was discovered.
Florida law also sets a 4-year limit from the date of the incident, with certain exceptions. Because the timeline can depend on the circumstances of a case, knowing when the statute of limitations begins to run is an important part of understanding your legal options.
