⚖️ Florida Personal Injury Law Guide

If you were injured in Florida (in cities like Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville), your claim is governed by local statutes and fault rules:

  • Statute of Limitations: You have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim in court.
  • Shared Fault System: Florida uses the Modified Comparative Negligence (51% bar) standard. As of recent reform, Florida follows a 51% modified comparative negligence system. You can recover damages only if you are 50% or less at fault. If you are 51% or more at fault, you get nothing.
  • Damage Caps: Florida does not cap compensatory damages for general personal injury lawsuits. Caps on medical malpractice non-economic damages were ruled unconstitutional by the Florida Supreme Court.
