Florida Cut Your Deadline in Half: And Most People Still Don’t Know It

Why an injury claim’s filing deadline matters

Check the date early

Florida’s filing rules have changed, and different claims can involve different requirements. An old assumption about how long you have may not fit your situation.

A claim needs time to prepare

Investigating an incident can require records, witnesses, and evidence that becomes harder to obtain as time passes. Insurance discussions and ongoing care should not be treated as confirmation that a filing deadline has paused.

Get a specific answer

Share the incident date and the parties involved with an attorney. Ask which deadlines and notice requirements apply to the particular claim rather than relying on a general timetable.
