Medical malpractice harms thousands of Florida residents every year — through misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and hospital negligence. Tampa's medical system serves a large and diverse population across Hillsborough County, and when it fails those patients the consequences can be life-altering. Tampa General Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital, and AdventHealth Tampa are among the largest facilities in West Central Florida. Patients are dismissed, told complications are normal, or made to feel that speaking up is wrong. The medical establishment protects itself. Hospital insurers often the complexity of Florida's presuit requirements against patients who were already harmed once. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
Tampa's major medical facilities — Tampa General Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital, and AdventHealth Tampa — serve the communities where our clients live. We know these facilities, the standards they are held to, and how to hold them accountable when they fall short. Those failures cause real damage to Tampa families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Hospitals and their insurers across Hillsborough County often work to make patients feel like they have no case. Florida's presuit process adds procedural complexity designed to discourage valid claims. We know how to leverage the justice system in Hillsborough County courts to fight back.
IMPORTANT FLORIDA LEGAL INFORMATION — MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Statute of Limitations: 2 years from when the malpractice was discovered or should have been discovered with due diligence. Hard cap of 4 years from the date of the act, except in cases of fraud or concealment (up to 7 years).
Presuit Notice Requirement (Critical): Before filing a lawsuit, you must serve a Notice of Intent to Initiate Litigation on each prospective defendant, accompanied by a corroborating medical expert opinion. This triggers a mandatory 90-day presuit investigation period. Failure to comply can permanently bar your claim.
Comparative Negligence: Pure comparative negligence applies to medical malpractice claims (not subject to HB 837's 51% bar).
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies for hospitals and physicians may count on Florida's presuit procedural complexity to discourage patients from pursuing what they are owed. Medical malpractice cases with serious permanent injuries can result in significant recoveries. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight for the full recovery.
