that’s a great question because the
0:06
statute of limitations in Florida is
0:07
actually pretty tricky the statute
0:10
normally runs two years from the date of
0:12
the malpractice but it can be extended
0:14
if for other reasons you don’t discover
0:16
the malpractice like for example in a
0:19
cancer misdiagnosis case or with the
0:22
exercise of due diligence you were not
0:25
able to find it so the statute can even
0:28
be extended beyond that under certain
0:30
circumstances if a doctor Alters a
0:32
medical record or something of that sort
0:35
so typically two years it can be
0:37
extended to four and then the case of
0:39
Fraud and uh children even sometimes
0:41
longer than that so my advice would be
0:45
if you’ve got the slightest inkling that
0:47
something has gone wrong consult with
0:49
someone who does this work on a regular
0:51
basis so that you can determine with
0:53
certainty what the statute is
