How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Florida?

If you have been injured in an accident caused by another person or entity’s negligence, you have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit. Under Florida law, you generally have a maximum of four years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. If you fail to file your claim within this time frame, the court will almost certainly refuse to hear your case and you will be unable to recover any compensation for your injuries.

There are a few exceptions to this rule. If you have lost a loved one in a wrongful death accident, you generally have a maximum of two years from the date of your loved one’s death to file a wrongful death claim. Additionally, if you discover your injuries at a later date, you have a maximum of two years from the date of discovery to file a claim. Regardless of the circumstances of your case, it is important to file your claim as soon as possible in order to protect your rights.

How to File a Personal Injury Claim

After you have been injured in an accident, it is important to take certain steps to protect your rights. Below is a step-by-step guide to filing a personal injury claim in Florida.

Seek Medical Attention

As soon as possible after your accident, you should seek medical attention. Even if you do not think you have been seriously hurt, getting checked out by a doctor is always a good idea. A doctor can help you get the treatment you need, and their medical report can also be used as evidence in your personal injury case.

Report the Accident

After your accident, you should report the incident to the appropriate authorities. If you have been injured in a car accident, you should call the police and report the crash. If you have been injured in a slip and fall, you should report the incident to the property owner or manager. If you have been injured in a workplace accident, you should report the accident to your employer.

Document the Scene

While you are at the scene of your accident, you should take the time to document the scene as much as possible. If you are able to do so, you should take pictures of your injuries, the accident scene, and anything else that may be relevant to your case. You should also ask anyone who saw the accident occur for his or her contact information.

Do Not Give a Statement to the Insurance Company

After your accident, you will likely be contacted by the insurance company. While the insurance adjuster may seem friendly, it is important to remember that he or she is not on your side. In fact, the insurance company will do everything it can to deny your claim or pay you as little as possible. For this reason, you should not give a statement to the insurance company, sign any documents, or accept any type of settlement offer without first talking to a personal injury lawyer.
