What Is The Personal Injury Statute of Limitations in Florida?

In the Sunshine State, an accident victim has four years to file a lawsuit from the day the incident occurred. With the help of a Tampa accident lawyer, a lawsuit can be set up as quickly as needed. Although four years seems like plenty of time to file a claim and set up a case, there is a risk of losing vital evidence for a successful claim if you wait too long. A professional will help you secure evidence, interview witnesses, build your case, and even submit it to the court for you. Moreover, the sooner you file your claim, the sooner the court can process it and initiate the settlement process.

The first step to starting your case is to contact our personal injury lawyers for an immediate consultation. It may feel difficult to keep on your toes following trauma, but this is what personal injury attorneys are for.

How Long Will My Case Take?

Each personal injury case is different and can vary in how long it can take however, the personal injury cases can be settled in one to two years depending on how long the mediation and negotiation process takes. Mediation is a term to describe both parties’ meeting and discussing the terms of the claimant’s settlement compensation.

Negotiation takes place during most settlement meetings – most individuals and organizations are hesitant to simply hand over thousands of dollars. Your attorney will provide counsel during mediation and help you determine what a fair settlement offer entails versus an offer that attempts to cheat you out of full compensation. After the mediation and negotiation phase, it can take roughly four to six months to complete the settlement process.

Injury lawsuits can be time-consuming and stressful following a traumatic incident. However, you don’t have to navigate the whole process alone. Our Tampa injury lawyers leave no stone unturned when helping clients through their cases, providing much-needed relief to those who are still recovering from their emotional and physical injuries.
