For most negligence claims, Florida’s deadline to file a lawsuit is two years from the date of the injury. Claims for wrongful death, medical malpractice and claims against government agencies follow different rules, so talk to a lawyer early.
Florida uses modified comparative negligence. If you are found 50% or less at fault, your recovery is reduced by your share of fault. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you generally cannot recover.
Get medical care, report what happened, photograph the scene and your injuries, collect names and phone numbers of witnesses, and avoid giving recorded statements to an insurance company before speaking with a lawyer.
