How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit After a Car Accident in Florida?

Under Florida’s statute of limitations, you generally have four years from the date of a car accident in which to file a lawsuit to pursue compensation from the driver or party responsible for the accident and your injuries. Filing a lawsuit after the statute of limitations has run on your claim may mean that you permanently lose the right to seek compensation from those at fault for your injuries and losses. That makes it critical to start your car accident claim as soon as possible.

West Palm Beach, Florida
They made the whole process really easy. They updated me with what was going on with my car insurance, they helped me out with where to go to get a car rental. They knew my case, they knew who I was, and they could really just guide me toward the right direction.

When I came over here, they treated me like family. I really appreciate it. I referred them to a couple of friends. I explained to my friends and family how the office treated me so good.
