Common Questions About Florida Medical Malpractice Claims
Answers injured patients often need
Unlike some bodily injury firms, the Graham Injury Firm charges no upfront fees in malpractice cases. We work on a contingency basis, only collecting a percentage of what we recover for you after obtaining a settlement or verdict.
Medical malpractice cases are complex and can take months or several years, depending on liability disputes, the seriousness of injuries, the number of defendants, and whether pre-suit negotiations or litigation are required before reaching a resolution.
enerally, victims have two years from discovering malpractice to file suit, though certain circumstances may extend or shorten this period, especially when government hospitals are involved, making early consultation with a lawyer critical.

How Long Do I Have to Initiate a Car Accident Lawsuit?
If you were involved in a car accident in which the other driver was at fault, you have a fixed amount of time to file a lawsuit in most states. In Florida, you have up to two years from the date that the accident occurred. This is called the statute of limitations. The party at fault will pay damages to the vehicle through insurance, and if there is bodily harm each party will file a claim with their own insurance company. If you suffered injuries from a car accident our attorneys at the Law Offices of Graham Injury Law Firm may help you understand if filing a lawsuit is best.
