Statute of Limitations

In Florida, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is:

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

These deadlines apply whether your claim is against an individual, business, or government entity, though cases involving a government party may require filing a notice of claim within a specific timeframe. Missing the statute of limitations can prevent you from pursuing the compensation you are entitled to.
