If you’ve been hurt in a truck accident, you’re probably focused on getting the medical care you need to recover from your injuries. Taking legal action against the negligent truck driver and/or trucking company that caused your accident might be the last thing on your mind. It’s important to remember, though, that the state of Florida sets a time limit for you to file a claim for damages resulting from your accident.
The statute of limitations sets the time you have to file a claim for compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. In Florida, you have four years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault driver, his employer, and/or their insurance companies. In a truck accident case, four years is not nearly so long as it might seem.
