How Florida law treats chemical burns

Statutory research reviewed 2026-08-14. Not legal advice.

Shared fault
Florida switched from pure to modified comparative fault in 2023: an injured person who is more than 50% at fault now recovers nothing. The change turns on when suit is filed, while the shortened filing deadline turns on when the injury occurred — two different triggers from the same law.
Fla. Stat. § 768.81(6) (HB 837, 2023)
Damage caps
Florida places no cap on non-economic damages in ordinary injury cases. The malpractice caps that remain in the statute books have been held unconstitutional and are unenforceable.
Estate of McCall v. United States, 134 So. 3d 894 (Fla. 2014); N. Broward Hosp. Dist. v. Kalitan, 219 So. 3d 49 (Fla. 2017)
Claims against government
A written claim must be presented to the agency within three years of accrual, and suit cannot begin until the claim is denied or six months pass.
Fla. Stat. § 768.28(6)(a)

Directory coverage for Florida is expanding

We don’t have listings here yet — coverage grows state by state rather than all at once. Burn and fire cases are routinely handled across state lines, so attorneys listed elsewhere in the region may still be able to help.

Frequently asked questions

How many attorneys handling chemical burns are listed in Florida?

No Florida firms are listed for this case type yet. Directory coverage is expanding state by state.

What is the deadline to file a chemical burn claim in Florida?
