A Florida Statement of Claim is a legal document that is used to initiate a civil lawsuit in the state of Florida. It is the first step in filing a lawsuit, and outlines the basis of the case, including the legal claims and facts of the case. There are two types of Florida Statement of Claim: the Original Statement of Claim and the Amended Statement of Claim. The Original Statement of Claim contains the plaintiff's initial claims and demands, while the Amended Statement of Claim is used to add new claims or facts to an existing lawsuit. Both Statements of Claim must include the names of the parties involved, the facts of the case, and the legal claims made by the plaintiff.
