If you or a family member have been injured in a car accident that was caused by a negligent driver, you are legally allowed to seek financial compensation from the at-fault party. However, injured parties must file a personal injury lawsuit within four years of the date of the accident.
This period is known as the “statutes of limitations,” and it applies to injuries sustained in a range of accidents including car, truck, and motorcycle accidents. However, wrongful death plaintiffs only have two years to file a lawsuit in Florida, including accidental deaths due to car, truck, and motorcycle crashes. Because the stakes are so high, it is always in your best interest to speak to a qualified personal injury and accident lawyer as soon as possible.
It’s critical that you be aware of what time limitations apply to your particular case and take the right steps at the right time to successfully recover the compensation you deserve. Failing to file your lawsuit on time could result in your injury claim being rejected by a judge, regardless of the proof you have.
