Auto Accidents

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”.

The monetary value of your case depends on a number of factors. The major factors usually come down to the extent of your injuries, your medical expenses, past and future wages, and treatment sought.
