Statute Of Limitations

Every state has laws regarding personal injury cases. This includes laws about the statute of limitations, which defines the maximum time allowed to initiate a legal action. Under Florida Statute § 95.11, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases in Florida is set at two years from the date of injury. This was reduced from four years when Governor DeSantis signed House Bill 837 in March 2023. Keep in mind that if the case is against a government employee or entity, the statute of limitations might be different. Also, there are some exceptions to the statute of limitations including cases where the victim is a minor or the accident involved a wrongful death. You should consult with a Florida personal injury lawyer to determine which statute of limitations applies to your specific case.

Benefits Of Hiring a Personal Injury Attorney

Sustaining injuries in an accident and then trying to recover compensation via a personal injury claim can be a daunting task. You can hire a personal injury attorney to help you through the process. A skilled and experienced personal injury attorney has extensive knowledge about personal law and can advise you on your legal options. They can also use their resources to help gather important evidence to strengthen your case.

With their experience, personal injury lawyers know how to negotiate with insurance companies to help you get maximum compensation and prevent you from falling victim to common pitfalls when dealing with insurance companies. It is in the best interest of the insurance company to reduce their payout so they will try various tactics to entice you to accept a low settlement offer.

Another key benefit of hiring an attorney is that they help expedite the process so you don't get frustrated by the drawn-out process of a personal injury claim in Florida. Lastly, with an attorney handling the legal aspects of your case, you can focus on recovering from your injuries, which can be extremely beneficial to you and your family.
