Frequently Asked Questions
In Florida, most negligence-based personal injury claims — including car accidents and slip and falls — must be filed within two years of the date of injury, under Fla. Stat. § 95.11(5)(a) as amended by House Bill 837 in 2023. This deadline applies to injuries occurring on or after March 24, 2023; earlier claims may still fall under the prior four-year rule. Devon Workman can review the specific date of your incident to confirm which deadline applies.

Florida uses a modified comparative negligence rule: your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault, but you cannot recover anything if you are found more than 50% at fault. This is a change from Florida’s prior “pure” comparative negligence system. An attorney can help assess how fault allocation may affect your specific claim.
