Florida, there has been a recent law change regarding the statute of limitations for personal injury claims resulting from car accidents. Previously, individuals had a four-year timeframe from the date of the injury to file their claims. However, as per the recent Florida law amendment in March 2023, the statute of limitations for such claims has been reduced to two years.
This means that if you have been injured in a car accident and your injuries exceed the limits of the no-fault insurance system, you now have a maximum of two years to initiate legal proceedings against the party responsible for the accident. It is crucial to understand that once the two-year period has elapsed, you may no longer be eligible to seek compensation for your injuries.
