Make Sure to File Your Airport Accident Lawsuit Within Florida’s Statutory Limits
If you decide to submit a personal injury lawsuit about your airport accident, you must do so within two years of the accident, per Florida Statutes § 95.11. Some exceptions to this statutory rule can be found in Florida Statutes § 95.051, such as cases involving minors or liable parties that have left the state. However, you’ll want to confirm your case’s filing deadline to ensure your right to pursue compensation remains valid.
Failure to submit your case within its statutory window could result in a judge dismissing your case. Don’t delay starting your legal journey.
