Frequently Asked Questions for Palm Beach Accident Lawyers
Q: I was in a car accident. Is there a time limit for me to bring a case?
A: The Statute of Limitations (the time limit during which a lawsuit must be filed) for car crashes is four (4) years in Florida. It may be different in other states. Consequently, a lawsuit against the party at fault (except for some very unusual circumstances) must be filed with the court within that time limit or the claim is lost. A claim under your uninsured motorist coverage is controlled by the insurance policy and may extend this time deadline to five (5) years. An accident involving a governmental entity requires written notification within three (3) years. Statutes of Limitation are very important, so prompt action is essential and consulting with legal counsel should be done as soon as possible.
