Florida Personal Injury Law
In Florida, the limitation period for personal injury claims is 2 years from the date of injury (Fla. Stat. § 95.11(3)(a) (reduced from 4 to 2 years in 2023 under HB 837)). Missing this deadline typically bars your claim permanently.
Wrongful death claims must be filed within 2 years under Fla. Stat. § 95.11(4)(d).
Medical malpractice claims have a 2-year limitation period.
Florida switched from pure comparative to a modified comparative fault rule (51% bar) in 2023 under HB 837. You can recover if you are 50% or less at fault, but recovery is barred if you are 51% or more at fault.
Florida is a no-fault auto insurance state. After an accident, you first file a claim with your own insurer regardless of who caused the accident. You can sue the at-fault driver only if injuries meet a severity threshold.
Florida minimum auto insurance: Not required (but $10,000 PIP required)/Not required bodily injury, $10,000 property damage.
Medical malpractice damages cap: Caps previously struck down as unconstitutional (Estate of McCall v. United States, 2014); no current cap.
