Under Florida law, four years from the date of injury or two years after a wrongful death caused by the premises liability accident. This time period is known as the statute of limitations. If you try to file a claim outside of the statute of limitations period, your claim may be automatically dismissed. While four years sounds like a long time, if you are catastrophically injured it may take that long to just become able to resume normal daily activities. As soon as you can, make sure to ask for a premises liability lawyer who can immediately protect your rights to compensation such as Schlacter Law.
