What Is the Time Limit (Statute of Limitations) to File a Claim for a Construction Injury in Florida?
We Don’t Take “Low” for an Answer!
Time is critical after a construction injury, and at Kaiser Romanello Accident and Injury Attorneys, we emphasize understanding Florida’s deadlines to avoid losing your rights. The statute of limitations sets strict time frames for filing claims—here’s a clear breakdown for 2025.
Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims
For most construction-related personal injury claims in Florida (e.g., against third parties for negligence), you have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. This applies to incidents occurring after March 24, 2023, following a law change from the previous 4-year limit.
Workers' Compensation Deadlines
If relying solely on workers’ comp, report the injury to your employer within 30 days and file a claim within 2 years of the accident or discovery of the injury. Missing these can result in denied benefits.
Exceptions and Extensions
Certain cases, like those involving minors or latent injuries, may extend deadlines. However, for standard construction accidents, the 2-year rule is firm—courts rarely make exceptions.
Why Act Fast
Delays can lead to lost evidence and expired rights. Consulting a lawyer early ensures compliance.
