In most cases, either two or four years. That’s the statute of limitations in Florida for filing a lawsuit for damages if you were injured in a slip and fall accident. The law was recently changed; you’ll have two years if your accident happened on or after 3/24/2023, and four years if it happened before that date. The deadline is also two years if you’re filing a wrongful death lawsuit to recover damages you suffered due to the loss of a loved one.
