In Florida, the statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice lawsuit, including cases involving IV infiltration or extravasation, is generally two years. This period starts from the time the incident occurred or from when the injury was discovered or should have been discovered with reasonable care. However, there's a broader limit known as the statute of repose, which states that no action can be commenced more than four years from the date of the incident or act leading to the claim, with some exceptions for cases involving minors.
It's important to note that these legal time frames can have exceptions and nuances, so consulting with a legal professional for specific advice on a potential case is advisable.
