How Long Do You Have to Sue AdventHealth?

AdventHealth is based in Florida, and most of its hospitals operate there. For care delivered at a Florida facility, Florida's medical malpractice rules control the deadline, and they are stricter than most patients expect.

Florida gives you two years from the date you discovered the injury, or reasonably should have discovered it, to file a medical malpractice claim under Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(b). A separate statute of repose cuts off most claims four years after the negligent care itself, regardless of when the harm surfaced. Claims for young children get more room: a minor's malpractice claim can be filed up to the child's eighth birthday if the injury was not discovered sooner.

Florida's Presuit Requirement Comes First

Chapter 766 of the Florida Statutes blocks the courthouse door until a presuit investigation is complete. Your attorney must obtain a verified written opinion from a qualified medical expert confirming reasonable grounds for the claim (§ 766.104), then serve a notice of intent on AdventHealth and each involved provider, which opens a 90-day investigation period before suit can be filed (§ 766.106). The deadline is tolled during that presuit process, but the investigation itself takes time to build. The later you start, the tighter the window gets.

AdventHealth also operates hospitals in eight other states, and each of those states sets its own malpractice deadline and its own presuit rules.
