Statute of Limitation Lawsuits

A statute of limitations is the time period in which a plaintiff may file a lawsuit claiming damages. A statute of limitations is set by law and can vary state by state. For example, in a car accident claim in the State of Florida, a plaintiff has two (2) years to bring a claim against a tortfeasor that caused plaintiff’s bodily injuries or wrongful death and five (5) years to bring a claim against their own insurance company for an Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist claim. Reminder: check your car insurance and make sure you have Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage!
