Q: My right fibia upper has been broken, fractured due to medical personnel while a short stay @ our Mental health unit.
This was a pressure point tactic because I was cursing and screaming @ staff. FYI.. Former LPN who worked in mental health. 2 weeks ago and this pain is excruciating. Thanks,
A: I do not practice in Florida. However, it seems that no one picked up your question for a month. If you are contemplating bringing a claim, it would be advisable for you to consult with a Florida attorney without delay. Aside from assessing the merits of your claim, the attorney could advise you of deadlines, notice of claim requirements, and statutes of limitations within which you would need to act to preserve your legal rights. In general, and I can’t speak for Florida, facilities that are affiliated with the government or government agencies sometimes have short deadlines in the form of notice of claim requirements.
