Florida Law

Florida Personal Injury Laws & Deadlines

Florida operates under a modified comparative negligence system, meaning injury victims can recover damages even if partially at fault, as long as their fault doesn't exceed 50%. The state's personal injury statute of limitations is typically four years from the accident date, though certain cases like medical malpractice have shorter deadlines. Florida's no-fault insurance law requires Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage, but serious injuries can still warrant pursuing claims against at-fault parties beyond PIP limits.
