Sue the caregivers? What a joke! Lets see...he gets the feeding tube pulled, starves the poor girl to a miserable death and now wants to hold the caregivers accountable?
If the courts grant this MS Schmuck an extension to file this petition then there is no justice.
they've already proven themselves incapable of justice...every last one of those 'judges'. But they shall be judged, every last one of them, by THE Judge, quite justly.

1. What is medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice is a negligent or careless act by a doctor, hospital, or other health care provider. It is the breach of the accepted standard of care that is recognized by other providers who are practicing with similar training in the same field of medicine. It can result from a failure to act or from acting improperly.
Examples would include: the failure to properly read an x-ray showing a cancerous tumor; the administration of an excessive dose of medication; the misdiagnosis of a life-threatening condition; surgery on the wrong limb; and failure to remove a surgical sponge at the end of an operation. There are many other circumstances of medical malpractice in the medical and legal literature.
3. When should I suspect that medical malpractice may have occurred?
Probably the most likely indicator that medical malpractice may have occurred is the dramatically different or unexpected result of treatment or surgery. An example would be serious brain injury following relative minor surgery.
Another telltale sign is the failure of the provider to give a good explanation for a worsened condition of the patient or of the sudden death of the patient.
There are also instances in which nurses or doctors or other providers make critical statements of prior care. These statements sometimes turn out to be accurate indicators of medical malpractice even though they may never be repeated in a legal setting.
8. What is the Statute of Limitations for filing a claim for medical malpractice in the State of Florida?
The statute in the State of Florida has several provisions that need to be carefully considered by an experienced attorney in light of the facts of any potential medical malpractice claim.
It is difficult to state the applicable statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims in Florida without fully knowing the facts of a particular claim. The statute begins with a 2 year limitations from the date of the malpractice, but contains language that could extend that period to as long as 4 years and, in some instances, to even 7 years. In Florida it is also important to know the date when the malpractice was first known by the patient or the survivors of the patient.
