A Clear Plan
Florida injury questions, answered
-
For most negligence claims, Florida allows two years from the date of the injury. That deadline was shortened from four years for incidents on or after March 24, 2023, and the change is not retroactive, so older incidents can still fall under the previous rule. Some claims run on different clocks. Wrongful death and claims against a government body carry their own deadlines and notice requirements. Because the date can decide a claim before the facts are ever weighed, it is worth confirming yours early.
-
Florida uses a modified comparative negligence rule. Your recovery is reduced by your share of the fault, and in most negligence cases a person found more than 50 percent at fault cannot recover at all. Fault is frequently disputed, and the other side's version tends to arrive first. An early, accurate account of what happened matters more than most people expect.
-
Depending on the facts, a property owner, a management company, a security contractor, or the business operating the space. More than one can be responsible for the same incident. What usually matters is who controlled the area, what they knew or should have known about the risk, and what they did about it.
-
A civil claim is separate from a criminal case. You can pursue one whether or not there was an arrest, a charge, or a conviction, and a criminal case that goes nowhere does not end the civil one. Where a property owner's security fell short, the claim may run against the business as well as against the person who caused the harm.
-
You are not required to give a recorded statement to another party's insurer. Adjusters ask about fault, prior injuries, and gaps in treatment, and early answers get used later in the claim. It is reasonable to say you will respond once you have spoken with an attorney.
-
Most injury claims resolve before trial, through negotiation or mediation. Some do not. The realistic possibility of trial is part of what a claim is worth, so we prepare a case as though it may be tried and negotiate from there. You approve the approach before anything is filed.
