How long do I have to file a medical malpractice case in Florida?
Florida gives you two years from the date you knew or should have known about the injury to file a medical malpractice claim, with a hard four-year statute of repose from the date of the negligent act (or up to seven years if fraud or concealment is involved). For minors, a claim can be filed until the child's eighth birthday. These deadlines are strict — a consultation is the only way to know where you stand.
What Happens Next
From first call to signed engagement
Here’s exactly what the first week of working with us looks like. No surprises, no pressure — just a clear path from “I think something went wrong” to a real answer.
01
The Call
10–20 minutes. You describe what happened; we listen and ask clarifying questions. Confidential and free. We assess whether the facts plausibly support a claim under Florida law.
02
Record Review
If the facts fit our practice, we request medical records (or use records you already have) and run an internal review. Our attorneys look for the clinical decision points where the standard of care may have been breached.
03
Expert Consultation
We consult a board-certified specialist in the defendant’s field to evaluate the case. This is the Florida pre-suit requirement — a corroborating affidavit is prepared if the case moves forward.
04
Engagement
If everyone is aligned — you, our attorneys, and the consulting experts — we send a contingency engagement agreement. No fees or costs come out of your pocket; the firm funds the case until recovery.
Live Answer
A live specialist picks up — day or night, weekdays and weekends.
Not a call center. Not a voicemail chain. Urgent matters (recent hospitalization, loss of a loved one, approaching statute deadline) are routed to an attorney immediately. Routine intake still reaches a real person.
Four ways to start a conversation.
Choose what's easiest. We respond on your timeline — or ours, when minutes matter.

Miami Office
By appointment
804 NW 21 Terrace, Suite 205, Miami, FL 33127. We also travel to hospitals, homes, and rehab facilities when mobility matters.
Prep
Nothing on this list is required to start. Having any of it ready just lets the first conversation go deeper — but we can help gather everything once you engage.
Medical records you already have
Discharge summaries, operative notes, imaging reports, pathology reports, medication lists, and any correspondence about the care in question. If you don't have them, we request them under HIPAA once we engage — no need to fight the hospital alone.
A rough timeline
When the care happened, when you noticed the injury, when you first suspected something had gone wrong, and the date you first sought a second opinion. This drives the statute-of-limitations analysis.
Names of providers and facilities
Treating physicians, specialists, nurse practitioners, surgeons, the hospital system, the specific facility, any facility transfers, and the insurer handling billing. Exact spellings help but aren't required.
Correspondence from insurers or the defendant
Letters, emails, or recorded messages from the provider's insurer, risk management, or legal counsel. These are relevant both as evidence and to make sure we don't cross any communication channels.
Who Takes the Call
Adam J. Zayed
Founder & Managing Trial Attorney — Zayed Law Offices
$150M+Recovered for Clients
99%Success Rate on Accepted Cases
15+Years in Trial Practice
When you call the firm, an intake specialist takes the first conversation — gathering the facts, timeline, and providers involved. If the case plausibly supports a claim under Florida law, it routes directly to Adam and the trial team for a full evaluation.
Adam limits his active caseload deliberately so every matter gets the preparation it needs. That discipline is the reason we decline more cases than we take — and the reason the ones we accept resolve well.
Time-Sensitive
We understand. Take the time you need.
If a family member recently died, you received a concerning pathology report, or a statute deadline is approaching — a specialist is available right now. We answer 24/7, and we'll be here when you're ready to talk. No pressure, no marketing script.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions prospective clients ask most before picking up the phone. If yours isn’t here, ask it on the call — there’s no cost and no obligation.
A confidential conversation about what happened — the facts, the providers involved, the timeline, and whether the situation plausibly supports a medical malpractice claim under Florida law. We’ll review the statute-of-limitations posture and tell you straight whether your case fits our practice. If it doesn’t, we’ll often refer you to another firm that might be a better match.
Within one business day for web and voicemail inquiries, and immediately on a live call — we answer 24/7. Time-sensitive matters (recent death, active hospitalization, approaching statute deadline) are triaged ahead of routine intake.
Yes. Every communication with our office — the initial inquiry through any retainer discussions — is protected by attorney-client confidentiality, regardless of whether you ultimately retain the firm. We do not share intake information with third parties.
No. Initial consultations are by phone or video. For clients who prefer in-person, we meet at our 804 NW 21 Terrace office or travel to hospitals and homes when mobility or health issues make that easier.
Any medical records you already have (discharge summaries, operative notes, imaging reports), a rough timeline of what happened, names of the providers and facilities involved, and any correspondence you’ve received from insurers or the defendant’s office. None of this is required to start — we can help you gather records once we engage.
Nothing up front. We work on contingency — you pay legal fees only if and when we recover money for you. Case costs (expert fees, records, depositions) are advanced by the firm during the case and reimbursed out of the recovery. No recovery, no fees and no costs billed back.
Not to ask the questions — the consultation is free and there’s no obligation to retain. Florida’s statute of limitations is strict (two years from discovery, four-year statute of repose), so the sooner you get an honest read, the more options you preserve.
