Time matters after an aviation accident. Kaiser Romanello Accident and Injury Attorneys help Florida victims meet deadlines to secure deserved compensation. How long do you have to file a claim? Let’s dive into the details and understand why timing is critical.

Florida’s Statute of Limitations for Aviation Accidents

Florida law sets a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including aviation accidents, starting from the incident date. This gives you a window to act, but complexities can shorten it:

• Wrongful Death Claims: Families have two years from the date of death to file. This applies if a loved one perished in a crash, such as a mid-flight collision or landing failure.

• Federal Regulations: Commercial airline accidents involve federal laws. These may impose stricter deadlines or require coordination with agencies like the FAA, altering your timeline.

• Minors or Incapacitated Victims: Courts may extend deadlines for minors or those unable to act legally. A guardian or representative must step in, but this process takes time to initiate.

Missing these strict deadlines can block your compensation. Kaiser Romanello ensures timely filings by tracking every legal requirement. For instance, a recent case involving a private plane in Miami showed how a delayed claim lost evidence, underscoring the need for prompt action.

Why Time Matters in Aviation Cases

FAA and NTSB investigations take time—often months—to conclude. Crash evidence—flight data, maintenance logs, or witness accounts—can vanish. Quick action allows our attorneys to:

• Preserve key evidence to prove liability. Black box data, for example, degrades if not secured early.

• Analyze crash causes, like pilot error or mechanical failure, with experts. A faulty engine in the Boca Raton crash highlighted this need.

• Target all responsible parties, from airlines to manufacturers. Identifying liability early strengthens your case.
