The statute of limitations in Florida for personal injury claims is four years from the date of the accident. If you do not submit your claim within this time limit, you could lose your right to compensation. However, you should receive medical attention within two weeks of your accident and reach out to one of our personal injury lawyers within a month of the accident. The longer you delay getting medical attention, the worse it is for your health. Also, the longer you delay, the more likely the insurance company will argue that your injuries were not severe enough to warrant immediate help and attention.
