Florida Law

Florida Personal Injury Laws & Deadlines

Florida operates under a no-fault insurance system requiring Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage, but serious injuries can exceed PIP limits allowing traditional tort claims. The state follows a four-year statute of limitations for most personal injury cases under Florida Statutes Section 95.11. Florida's comparative negligence rule means you can still recover damages even if partially at fault for your accident.

What should I do if I'm injured as a tourist in Miami Beach?
Seek immediate medical attention and document everything, including photos of the accident scene and contact information for witnesses. Many Miami Beach businesses have substantial insurance coverage, but you'll need local legal representation to navigate Florida law and jurisdiction issues that may arise when you return home.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?
