GETTING MEDICAL RECORDS
MALPRACTICE SPECIAL RULE

Section 766.204, Florida Statutes states that copies of medical records relevant to any litigation of a medical malpractice claim or defense shall be provided to a claimant, or the attorney thereof, at a reasonable charge within ten business days of a request for copies. It is not grounds to refuse copies of the records because they are not completed or the medical bill is still owed. Failure to produce the records will be evidence of failure to provide pre-suit good faith discovery and shall waive the requirement of written medical corroboration by a requesting party if the party is bringing or defending a malpractice claim.

While our firm started in Orlando and its main office is there, for many years we have handled cases throughout Florida, and even out of state. To serve you better we have opened additional satellite offices in several major Florida cities. We use these offices to conduct client interviews, take depositions, and as war rooms when we have trials in these cities. When advantageous to you, we will also associate with other lawyers and law firms in some areas of the state to serve you better. If we do associate with other lawyers on your case it will be at no additional attorney fee or expense to you.

This site contains only general background information and is not intended to constitute specific legal advice or establish an attorney/client relationship. Laws vary from state to state and are constantly changing. If you think you may have a case you should promptly contact a lawyer in your state with experience in handling this type of case.
