How long do I have to file a slip and fall lawsuit in Florida?

Under Fla. Stat. § 95.11, you generally have two years from the date of the slip and fall accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida. If the incident resulted in a tragic fatality, a wrongful death claim must also be filed within two years. Failing to file within this strict statute of limitations usually bars you from seeking compensation. Because critical evidence like surveillance video is often deleted quickly, it is highly recommended to consult Jeffrey S. Altman at The Altman Law Firm as soon as possible.
