Statute of Limitations

In Florida, the statute of limitations for car accident claims is:

• Two years from the date of the accident for personal injury.
• Two years for wrongful death resulting from a personal injury accident.
• Four years for property damage claims (e.g., vehicle repair or replacement).

These deadlines apply whether the case involves a negligent party or government entity (though claims against the government may have additional notice requirements). If a claim isn’t filed before the statute of limitations expires, you could lose your right to seek compensation.
