Florida Laws That Affect Your Case

Statute of Limitations

In Florida, you have a limited time to file your claim: 2 years for negligence (FL Statute § 95.11). Missing this deadline typically means you lose your right to compensation permanently.

“Time is your most valuable asset after an injury. Contact a Tampa attorney immediately to ensure your claim is preserved.”

Modified Comparative Negligence

Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system. If you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you are barred from recovering any damages. Otherwise, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Florida Insurance System

Florida operates under a No-Fault (PIP required) system. $10,000 PIP coverage required.
