Generally, Section 400.0236, Florida Statutes provides that nursing home abuse cases must be filed within 2 years or 4 years from the time of the incident of negligence or within 2 years from the time you knew or should have known of the negligence. This is a difficult area of the law, so please consult with a experienced attorney with the specifics of your case.
