Florida Law: What You Need to Know
Spinal cord injury claims must account for a lifetime of costs — surgeries, rehabilitation, home modifications, assistive equipment, and ongoing care. Life-care planners and economists help document these future needs. Maximizing recovery often means identifying every available insurance policy and liable party.
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.
