How Much Time Do I Have to Sue After a Train Accident in Florida?
There is a two-year statute of limitations in Florida for most personal injury cases, including train accidents. You could lose the right to sue and recover money after this time has passed.
You might have fewer days to take action if the party at fault is an agency of the government. You are required to inform the government within three years of your claim in such cases, which can cause the legal procedure to be slow.
Seek an attorney as soon as possible after the accident to make sure your claim gets filed before time runs out.
