Florida Statute of Limitations
A law establishing the time limit within which a lawsuit must be brought is called a statute of limitations. Different types of cases have different statutes of limitations. Knowing which statute of limitations applies is critical because if a lawsuit is not brought within the time limit that applies to the case, the right to sue and recover damages is forever lost. The statute of limitations for a personal injury lawsuit is usually relatively short and subject to a number of factors.
There are also different exceptions that may apply for each type of case, which may extend the statute of limitations. Of course, regardless of the possible availability of an exceptions, it is always beneficial to bring a lawsuit as soon as it is practical to do so because the availability (and memory) of witnesses to an accident and access to related physical evidence is much greater shortly after an accident than after years have passed. It is critical that you contact an attorney immediately after suffering any injury so that the appropriate statute of limitations can be determined. At Lucas, Green & Magazine, we make sure to explore all aspects of your case as soon as possible to ensure that no claims are lost as a result of untimely action.
