HOW DO I GET MY
MEDICAL RECORDS?

In Florida, with very few exceptions, a patient has a legal right to obtain copies of his medical records. In general, if the patient needs the records for continuing care, they should be provided free of charge. If the patient just wants to review them, or have their lawyer review them, the health care provider can charge for the copies. The amount of the charge is governed by law, and depends on the type of records being obtained and the number of pages. Patients also have a general right to look at the originals. These links will take you to more information about getting access to specific types of medical records.

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.
