Most people file a claim relatively after an accident or incident has occurred
but if it ever slips your mind, Legally Pink Law is here to assist you
in making sure you file a claim before the statute of limitations expires.
A statute of limitations is a law, which places a time limit on pursuing
a legal remedy in relation to wrongful conduct. After the expiration of
the statutory period, unless a legal exception applies, the injured person
loses the right to file a lawsuit seeking money damages or other relief.
These time frames differ depending on what type of claim you are filing.
Listed below are the time frames in which you must file your claim in
Florida according to
ExpertLaw.com:
Professional Malpractice: For medical malpractice, 2 years from the date
of the act giving rise to injury, or within two years from the date the
injury was or should have been detected, but no malpractice action may
