Statute of Limitations

In Florida, the statute of limitations for pedestrian 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., damage to personal belongings or other property).

These deadlines apply whether the claim is against a negligent driver or a government entity, though claims involving a government party may have additional notice requirements. Failing to file a claim before the statute of limitations expires can prevent you from seeking the compensation you deserve.
