How Long Do I have to File an Aviation Injury Claim?

We Don’t Take “Low” for an Answer!

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? This guide explores the deadlines and why acting quickly is essential for justice.

Florida’s Statute of Limitations

Florida law sets a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including aviation accidents, starting from the incident date. However, specific circumstances can complicate or alter this timeline, requiring careful attention to ensure your claim is filed on time.

Special Cases Affecting Deadlines

Certain circumstances can alter the standard two-year window, adding complexity to aviation claims. Wrongful death claims, such as those from a fatal mid-flight collision, have a two-year limit starting from the date of death. Federal regulations governing commercial airline accidents may impose stricter deadlines or require coordination with agencies like the FAA. For minors or incapacitated victims, courts may extend deadlines, but a guardian must act promptly, which can delay the process if not handled efficiently.

Why Speed Strengthens Your Case

Aviation accident evidence, such as black box data, maintenance logs, or witness accounts, can degrade or disappear quickly. FAA and NTSB investigations often take months, further complicating timely access to critical details. Kaiser Romanello acts swiftly to preserve evidence like flight data, analyze crash causes (e.g., pilot error or mechanical failure) with aviation experts, and identify all liable parties, from airlines to manufacturers, ensuring a robust cas

Kaiser Romanello’s Expertise

With extensive experience in Florida aviation accident cases, Kaiser Romanello’s attorneys navigate state and federal laws to ensure timely filings supported by compelling evidence. We leverage FAA and NTSB reports, collaborate with aviation experts, and tailor strategies for cases involving small planes, helicopters, or commercial flights. Our proven track record demonstrates our commitment to maximizing compensation for victims.

Consequences of Delay

Delaying your claim risks more than missing Florida’s two-year deadline. Degraded evidence, like a faulty engine in a Boca Raton crash, can weaken your ability to prove liability. Delays may also limit compensation for medical bills, lost wages, or emotional trauma, reducing your recovery. Prompt action safeguards your rights and strengthens your claim’s outcome.
