How Florida injury law affects a claim
The rules that most often shape negotiations and filing decisions.
Personal injury filing deadlines
Generally 2 years for negligence claims arising after March 2023.
Florida fault rules
Modified comparative negligence: barred if more than 50% at fault.
Personal injury lawyer fees
Most firms work on contingency, commonly around one third of a settlement. Ask about case costs in writing.
How the fault rule works in practice
Modified comparative negligence: barred if more than 50% at fault. Insurers may use statements, reports, photographs, and witness accounts to assign blame, so preserving evidence early can directly affect the amount recoverable.
Deadline examples
- Car accident: The general rule is generally 2 years for negligence claims arising after march 2023. Negotiations do not necessarily pause that deadline.
- Truck collision: The same general deadline may apply, while carrier-held evidence can require earlier preservation.
- Wrongful death: A separate accrual date or representative requirement may apply. A lawyer should confirm the family’s exact deadline.
Car insurance in Florida
Most injury claims start with an insurance policy, so it helps to know what drivers here are required to carry.
Required minimum
$10,000 in personal injury protection (PIP) and $10,000 in property damage liability. Bodily injury liability is not required for most drivers.
How claims are paid
Florida is a no-fault state. Your own PIP coverage pays first for medical bills and lost wages, regardless of fault. You can claim against the at-fault driver when injuries are serious enough to meet the state's threshold.
Uninsured drivers
Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is not required, but insurers must offer it. Check your own policy, since it can pay when the other driver's limits are too low.
Check a Florida lawyer's license
License details can change. Confirm any lawyer using the official public directory maintained by the The Florida Bar.
