Haftel v. Florida Patient's Compensation Fund
478 So. 2d 350 | Fla. | 1985
This case is before us to answer a certified question of great public importance.
It is so ordered.
Haftel v. Florida Patient's Compensation Fund, 464 So.2d 249 (Fla. 3d DCA 1985):
Whether a claim against the Florida Patient's Compensation Fund arises at the time of the alleged medical malpractice, rather than when judgment is entered against the tortfeasor, and is governed by the two year statute of limitations provided by Section 95.-*351 ll(4)(b), Florida Statutes (1977), so that the Fund must be made or joined as a party defendant within two years after the malpractice action accrues?
