Are You A Victim Of Professional Malpractice?
Professional malpractice refers to the negligence or misconduct by a lawyer, physician, dentist, engineer, architect, accountant, pharmacist or other professional. Professionals must meet the accepted standards of care and professionalism when conducting their work, and if they fail to meet these standards, they may be liable for the damages and injuries they cause.
Professional malpractice claims involve situations where the negligence or misconduct of a professional leads to physical, financial or emotional damages such as injury, lost wages, medical bills and loss of enjoyment in life. Depending on the profession, different laws apply.
For instance, in medicine, doctors and other medical professionals are expected to perform as well as other trained doctors in their field. If they fail to do so, or provide treatment below the accepted standard of medical care, they have committed medical malpractice.

When You May Sue
There are legal limitations on the amount of time that can pass between the victim suffering damages due to malpractice and initiating a lawsuit against the professional responsible for that malpractice.
In the State of Florida, the deadline is two years to bring a claim. There are very few exceptions to this rule, so it is best to speak to an attorney as soon as possible.
