When you have suffered an injury due to the negligence, recklessness, or carelessness of another party or parties, you are coping with a variety of issues: physical pain and discomfort, medical bills, ongoing treatment, loss of work and wages, stress… the list goes on and on. To ensure your rights are protected to the fullest extent of the law, it is essential that you contact a personal injury lawyer in Florida as soon as possible.
Florida Personal Injury Lawsuit Statute of Limitations
While we understand that you are under a great deal of physical and emotional stress, there is a reason for the “as soon as possible” clause! The Florida personal injury lawsuit statute of limitations is four years from the date of the accident. If the case involves wrongful death, then the statute of limitations is accelerated to just two years.
In other words, you have four years from the date of the accident or two years from the date of the accident that caused your loved one’s death in which to file a lawsuit seeking compensation. If you do not meet this deadline, you cannot pursue recovery for your injuries or seek justice on your own behalf or on behalf of a deceased family member.
Two and four years seems like a lifetime! But in the legal system, it is a blink of the eye. It takes time to properly establish the facts and build a compelling case for compensation. Do not wait.
