The Florida statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is 2 years (Fla. Stat. § 95.11(5)(a) (HB 837, 2023)). Claims against a government body usually run on a much shorter separate notice deadline. Missing either one generally ends the claim regardless of its merits, so the filing date matters more than almost any other early decision.
