March 24, 2025: Florida’s First Wave of Personal Injury Deadlines Begins

Today marks a critical turning point for Florida personal injury victims. Under the new law passed in March 2023 (House Bill 837), the statute of limitations for negligence-based personal injury claims was reduced from four years to two years.

This means that starting March 24, 2025, injured individuals who haven’t filed a lawsuit within two years of their accident will begin to lose their right to recover compensation—permanently.

What Does This Mean?

It’s important to understand that March 24, 2025 is not a one-size-fits-all deadline. Instead, it is the start of a rolling deadline system.

• For example, if you were injured in an accident on June 3, 2023, then your deadline to file a lawsuit is June 3, 2025.
• If your accident happened on October 10, 2023, your deadline would be October 10, 2025.

From this point forward, personal injury cases will begin expiring on a daily basis, based on the date of the accident.

Why This Matters

If you haven’t filed a lawsuit or formally settled your case, you could soon lose your ability to seek compensation—regardless of how strong your case is.
