When you or a loved one is injured or even killed in a
Florida truck accident that was caused by a negligent driver, who may have been drunk or drowsy, you have the legal right to seek to recover damages from the wreck.
The financial compensation you may be able to earn in these cases can include your:
- Medical bills
- Ongoing care
- Funeral costs
- Lost wages
- And more
However, your right to earn financial compensation after a
Florida truck wreck is not limitless. There may be some regulations on which costs you can recover damages for, as well as how long after the accident you can file a claim. This limit is called the statute of limitations.
The statute of limitations in Florida for a personal injury claim, which you would file after being injured in a
Florida truck crash that was not your fault, is four (4) years. If you are filing a wrongful death suit, the limit is two (2) years from the time of passing.
The statute of limitations for personal injury cases puts a finite cap limit on the amount of time after an accident you can wait before starting your claim. It is important that you get started on your claim as soon as possible, or you may get left with nothing at all.
