Every person seeking to file a lawsuit for medical negligence against a physician or hospital must include a verified written medical expert opinion corroborating that there are reasonable grounds to believe that each named defendant was negligent. Fla. Stat. § 766.203. A defendant who denies the existence of reasonable grounds for the claim must also provide a corroborating verified written medical expert opinion. As a potential party or plaintiff, you cannot proceed with you claim to the Courts without an expert opinion of the same or similar specialty.
