Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to bring a claim for my injury?
Florida Statutes section 95.11(3)(a) gives you four years, typically starting from the date of the underlying accident or incident, to file a civil lawsuit seeking a legal remedy (compensation) for “an action founded on negligence.” That includes almost all conceivable types of personal injury lawsuits, since most are governed by the liability principle of “negligence”.
