Is There a Statute of Limitations for Compensation After I Was Injured in a Florida Car Accident?

Hi, I’m Laurie Hannan Anton, a personal injury attorney from Marc L. Shapiro’s law office. Clients often ask about the statute of limitations, a crucial factor in any case. It sets a time limit for filing a personal injury lawsuit after incidents like a car accident. In Florida, recent law changes (March 2023) reduced the statute of limitations from four to two years for such cases. For personal injury or property damage claims from car accidents, it’s essential to act swiftly.

Another statute of limitations applies to property damage claims. Missing these time limits means you can’t file a lawsuit. If you’ve suffered injuries in a Florida car accident, contact our office right away to evaluate your case’s worth.
