How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury in Florida?

As of March 24, 2023, Florida law changed the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims. Under the current rule:

You have just 2 years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida. This is a significant change from the previous 4-year limit. If your injury occurred before March 24, 2023, you may still have 4 years. But if it happened on or after that date, the new 2-year deadline applies. If you file after the 2-year mark, your case will likely be dismissed, and you may lose your right to any compensation.
