What is a statute of limitations?

In short, a statute of limitations is a document that establishes a set amount of time after an event in which any legal action based on that specific event must be commenced. The time period set forth in the statute of limitations usually starts immediately after the incident occurs. The total amount of time a party is given to file a lawsuit depends on the nature of the incident in question.

In Florida, a personal injury case can be filed up to four years after the incident. Medical malpractice cases must be pursued within two years of the negligent act.

If you or a loved one has been the victim of negligence, it is important to understand the state’s statute of limitations. To find out if you may be entitled to compensation, contact the Coral Springs personal injury lawyers of the Law Offices of Eric G. Canter, P.A. by calling 866-529-0022 today.
