Florida Personal Injury Statute of Limitations

Michael P. Maddux, P.A. Team
Legal infographic about Florida’s new personal injury filing deadline law, featuring an hourglass marked ‘2 Years,’ a Florida map, gavel, statute book, and bold text explaining the reduction of negligence claim deadlines from four years to two years after March 24, 2023.

Many people still don’t realize that Florida recently changed the personal injury statute of limitations. For most negligence cases arising after March 24, 2023, lawmakers reduced the time to file a lawsuit from 4 years to just 2 years.

Why This Change Matters

That means injured individuals now have far less time to act. They must investigate their case, gather evidence, complete treatment, and protect their rights, all faster than before.

Surveillance footage disappears, witnesses become harder to locate, and time can cause important evidence to disappear. If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, don’t assume you have years to decide what to do. Florida’s personal injury statute of limitations moves faster than most people expect, so speak with an attorney early to protect your claim.
