The first is that the statute of limitations in a medical malpractice case is only 2 years while typically in regular, run of the mill personal injury cases it is 4 years. The second is that there is a mandatory pre-suit period that Is outlined in chapter 7 66 of the Florida statute which delineates the mandatory pre-suit that every medical malpractice case has to go through.
