The statute of limitations for negligence actions, including car accidents, is four years from the date of the accident. However, pursuant to Florida law, in order to recover damages for your pain and suffering, in addition to your out of pocket medical bills and lost wages, your doctor needs to determine if you sustained a permanent injury within a reasonable degree of medical probability. Generally speaking, it is in your best interest to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney shortly after your accident so that all evidence may be obtained, while it, and witnesses recollections, are still fresh.
