Florida Law: What You Need to Know
Florida recognizes strict liability for defective products, meaning an injured person generally does not have to prove negligence — only that the product was defective and unreasonably dangerous, and that the defect caused the injury. Preserving the product itself is critical evidence in these cases.
Florida deadline: Most negligence injury claims must be filed within two years of the accident under Fla. Stat. § 95.11(4)(a). Government claims have separate, shorter notice deadlines.
