Is there a time limit on seeking damages for personal injuries?
Yes, the time limit (statute of limitations) in Florida for filing an action in court for negligence and
other wrongful conduct that causes personal injuries is generally 4 years from the time the injury
occurs or should have been discovered. If the case involves wrongful death, medical malpractice,
or nursing home neglect, a 2-year statute of limitations will apply.
