When it comes to taking legal action after a UPS accident, it’s important to take note of the statute of limitations for your state. This is the legal timeframe within which you must file a lawsuit after an accident. Each state has its own rules, but in Florida, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is usually two years. This could vary depending on the specific circumstances of your case, but it’s usually fairly strict. The specific circumstances that could possibly extend the deadline are: Your accident took place before March 2023. In March 2023, the statute of limitations was lowered from four years to two years. If your accident took place before that date, the four-year limit may still apply. The injured person was legally incapacitated at the time of the accident, as long as no more than seven years has lapsed between the date of the accident and the filing of the lawsuit The at-fault driver left the state. If the at-fault party left Florida after the accident, but before the lawsuit could be filed, it’s possible to extend the statute of limitations. The at-fault driver changes their name or hides to avoid being served with the lawsuit. This could be grounds for extending the limit.
