What Is Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to provide treatment that meets the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient. This standard is defined by what a reasonably competent physician or provider would do under similar circumstances. When that standard is breached, victims have the legal right to pursue compensation.
Common types of medical malpractice cases include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
- Surgical errors or wrong-site surgery
- Medication and anesthesia errors
- Birth injuries
- Hospital-acquired infections
- Failure to obtain informed consent
If any of these incidents have affected you or a loved one, it’s time to speak with a skilled Jupiter medical malpractice lawyer from Bounds Law Group.

Florida’s Medical Malpractice Laws
Florida’s laws regarding medical malpractice are strict and complex. Here's what you need to know:
Statute of Limitations
You generally have two years from the date the malpractice was discovered (or should have been discovered) to file a lawsuit, and no more than four years from the date of the incident. Exceptions exist for minors and cases involving fraud.
Presuit Requirements
Before filing, Florida law mandates a presuit investigation, which includes:
- Obtaining a written medical expert opinion confirming malpractice
- Notifying the healthcare provider(s) of your intent to sue
- Allowing a 90-day presuit negotiation period
Our attorneys at Bounds Law Group handle every step of this complex process to ensure your case complies with Florida law and is positioned for success.

The Importance of Medical Experts in Medical Malpractice Cases
One of the most crucial components of a successful Jupiter medical malpractice case is the involvement of medical experts. These professionals play a vital role in establishing the facts of the case, determining whether the standard of care was breached, and assessing the extent of damages caused by the negligence.
How Medical Experts Strengthen Your Case
In medical malpractice litigation, the burden of proof is on the victim. You must show that the healthcare provider's actions (or lack thereof) deviated from the accepted medical standards and directly caused harm. To achieve this, credible medical experts are often needed to testify on your behalf.
- Expert Testimony – Medical experts provide testimony regarding the applicable standard of care. Their professional opinions will explain how the healthcare provider’s actions were below that standard and how it led to the injury or condition you are suffering from.
- Diagnosis Validation – In many cases, the injury or illness caused by malpractice is complicated and requires in-depth medical knowledge. Experts can validate whether a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis contributed to worsening conditions, which is vital for proving the case.
- Assessing Damages – Medical experts also help assess the full extent of your damages. For example, they can testify about the long-term medical treatments and future care needs that will be required due to the injuries sustained.
- Strengthening Negotiations and Litigation – Strong expert testimony can significantly influence both settlement negotiations and jury decisions. Insurance companies and defendants are more likely to settle fairly when faced with compelling expert evidence. Conversely, if the case goes to trial, expert testimony can be the deciding factor in securing a favorable verdict.
At Bounds Law Group, we work with highly qualified medical experts from a variety of specialties to ensure your case is built on the most robust evidence possible. Our team will help identify the right expert for your case, assist with medical record reviews, and prepare the expert for testimony, ensuring that all aspects of your case are clearly presented.
