| | Article - Medical Malpractice Statute of Limitations in Florida - Part 1 |
| | Reynolds, 333 So.2d 25 (1976), that the statute of limitations for filing medical negligence cases begins to run when the plaintiff has either notice of the negligent act giving rise to the cause of action or notice of the physical injury that was caused by the negligent act. | | | When statute of limitation issues arise in medical negligence cases, they most often involve the interpretation or application of the two year limitations period, rather than the four year or seven year statute of repose. | | | Because in most cases the date the medical negligence occurred will be undisputed, the application of the four year statute of repose will generally still be a matter of law for the court to decide. |

| | If the subsequent attorney files a legal malpractice case, unaware that the statute has not expired, he or she -- and not the previous attorney -- will have caused the harm when the statute expires while the matter is under his or her control. | | | A case involving the failure of an attorney to file a case before the expiration of the statute of limitations is sometimes called a "blown statute case." A blown statute would seem to be a slam-dunk legal malpractice case, assuming that the underlying case would have been won. | | | The Court of Appeal held that the statute was tolled while he was unconscious. |

| | In a legal malpractice claim, the court held the statute of limitation runs from the date the plaintiff knew or had reason to know she had been poorly represented rather than the later date when she was advised she had a legal malpractice claim. | | | The Court then referenced the medical malpractice law regarding accrual of a cause of action as follows: The situation here is analogous to the "discovery" theory utilized in determining whether the statute of limitations has run in medical malpractice cases. | | | Obviously the answer must be with the discovery that a wrong has been committed and not that the party may sue for the wrong. |

| | Statute of Limitations |
| | Usually there is a statutory time limit in which a damaged party is allowed to file a civil lawsuit (called a "Statute of Limitations"). | | | The most important thing to remember about Statutes of Limitations is that a claimant's failure to file a lawsuit, before the expiration of the applicable limitations period, will bar that claim thereafter, regardless of its merits. | | | For example, actions based upon breach of a written contract, generally, must be filed four years from the date a written contract was "breached" (two years for a verbal contract). |
