Question:
Can I file a medical malpractice suit against someone who isn’t a doctor?
Answer: In Florida, the medical malpractice statute applies to doctors, hospitals, nurses, chiropractors, as well as a whole host of individuals who people may not consider specifically to be a doctor. It’s a very broad statute, and the key point about that statute is, if your case involves a physician or a hospital or a nurse that failed to use reasonable care under the circumstances, it’s very important to contact an attorney right away because there is a limited amount of time to pursue that claim.
