Claim deadline checker in Florida

How long you have to file a personal injury claim after a crash, in your state, with the statute it comes from and the date it was last checked.

Deadline to file an injury claim: 2 years
Statute: Fla. Stat. § 95.11(5)(a)
When the clock starts: The day the cause of action accrues, normally the day of the crash.
Watch out for: Florida shortened this. Negligence claims used to sit under the four-year bracket and now fall under the two-year one, so older guides and older advice are wrong. Separately, Florida PIP requires you to get initial treatment within 14 days of the crash or the benefit is lost — a much earlier deadline than the one to file.
