What is the Statute of Limitations in Florida for accident claims?
Generally, the statute of limitations in Florida for a personal injury case is 4 years from the date of the negligence or accident which caused the injury. Medical malpractice cases are different. This means that your lawsuit against the person or business must be filed in the correct court within 4 years of the accident, or else your case may be forever barred. This is a difficult area of the law, so please consult with an accident attorney regarding the specific facts of your case.
