At Lieberman Injury Law, we fight for victims of medical malpractice and hold negligent healthcare providers accountable.

  2. Obtain copies of your medical records.
  3. Document your symptoms, treatments, and any worsening conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim in Florida?

    In Florida, you have two years from the date of the injury (or discovery of the injury) to file a medical malpractice lawsuit.

  • What if I signed a consent form?

    Signing a consent form does not mean a doctor is allowed to be negligent. If a provider fails to follow the proper standard of care, you may still have a valid claim.
