Florida Law

Florida Personal Injury Laws & Deadlines

Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can recover damages even if partially at fault, as long as you're less than 51% responsible. The state's statute of limitations for personal injury cases is four years from the date of the accident, though certain cases may have shorter deadlines. Florida's no-fault insurance laws require Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage but allow lawsuits for serious injuries meeting the state's threshold requirements.
