What is the Statute of Limitations for a Texting & Driving Accident Claim in Florida?
The statute of limitations in Florida for filing a personal injury claim due to a texting and driving accident is two years from the date of the accident. This timeframe allows individuals to gather evidence, evaluate their injuries, and seek legal guidance.
Fulfilling your claim within this period is essential to avoid losing the right to pursue damages. Consulting with a legal professional as soon as possible can help ensure all legal deadlines are met and your claim is handled correctly.

"They treated me like family."Perry & Young Law Firm represented me with my discrimination case. Mrs. Jeanetta Brown conducted my intake and was a great pleasure to work with! From the beginning of initial contact to the end of my settlement, they treated me like family. The defendants wanted to treat me as a nuance, but my Perry & Young Law Firm didn’t treat me as such and made sure I was fairly compensated. I appreciate their patience, handling my case with care, and respect!- Brittany P.
