Local Context for Truck Accident Lawyer in Orlando
Deadlines, venue, insurers, and medical documentation all play differently in Orlando. This page pulls together the local context that matters before you speak with a truck accident lawyer.
Florida Auto 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).
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.
