Florida Law: What You Need to Know
Most Florida employers must carry workers' compensation, which pays benefits regardless of fault but limits what you can recover from your employer. However, if a third party — such as a equipment manufacturer or subcontractor — caused your injury, you may bring a separate personal injury claim for fuller damages, including pain and suffering.
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.
