Florida Statute of Limitations

FL Injury Lawyers (Home) / Florida Statute of Limitations

The statute of limitations is a legal doctrine that limits the amount of time an individual has to file a lawsuit and pursue financial compensation after suffering in a personal injury accident. If you have suffered an injury from someone else’s negligent actions, you need to know how the statute of limitations affects your case to ensure that you do not lose your chance to seek compensation.

Personal injury victims deserve compensation to cover the costs of medical bills and other damages. If you have questions about the statute of limitations in Florida and how long you have to take legal action, contact a Clearwater injury attorney of the Law Offices of Tragos, Sartes & Tragos, P.L.L.C., at 727-441-9030 today and schedule your consultation.

How Long Do You Have to File Your Claim?

The amount of time you have to file your personal injury claim depends on the statute of limitations of state you live in as well as the type of lawsuit you pursue. In the state of Florida, the statute of limitations gives the following restrictions for how long a person has to file a claim:

  • Personal injury cases – within four years of the accident
  • Wrongful death – within two years of your loved one’s death
  • Defective products – within four years of the date of the injury
  • Medical malpractice – within two years of the action that caused the injury or when the injury was discovered

A knowledgeable Clearwater accident lawyer can help you make sure that you file your case within the time limit specified by Florida’s statute of limitations.
