In Florida, the statute of limitations for car accident claims is generally four years from the date of the accident. This means you have four years to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for injuries, property damage, or other losses resulting from the car accident.
Getting in an accident with an uninsured driver in Florida when they're at fault adds another level of stress and frustration. What happens if someone hits you without insurance in Florida? In most cases, your insurance will cover an accident with an uninsured motorist in Florida.
As of March 24, 2023, Florida's statute of limitations for negligence claims, including those arising from car accidents, has been reduced from four years to two years. This legislative change mandates that victims of car accidents must file their negligence claims within two years of the incident.
Under Florida's 14-day accident law, car accident victims must seek medical evaluation and treatment within 14 days of their crash. Failing to do so will prevent their personal injury protection (PIP) insurance carrier from paying the medical care providers who handled these services.
Florida Law Mandates You Must Comply With Reporting Requirements to File a Claim. Florida Statutes § 316.066 mandates that drivers have up to 10 days to file a written crash report to law enforcement. You can file a report through the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV).
Timely is defined as received by FLHSMV within ten days of the date of the crash. FLHSMV has established this policy in ance with sections 321.23 and 324.051, Florida Statutes.
If you miss this deadline, your PIP insurance provider will most likely deny your claim for benefits. This means your PIP insurance coverage will not cover a portion of your medical expenses or lost wages if you miss this 14-day deadline.
Does no-fault insurance cover car damage? Although your no-fault insurance covers economic losses, damage to your vehicle would be covered by either your collision insurance or the other driver's liability policy – not by no-fault insurance.
