After a crash, it’s easy for shock and adrenaline to impact your decision-making. However, it helps your case to act quickly to safeguard your rights. In Florida, statutes of limitations exist to help parties find a resolution by setting time limits to file a claim or lawsuit. If you don’t file your legal action within the allotted time, you may never recover compensation for your injuries.Because statutes of limitations exist, you should never wait too long to invoke your rights. Check out our video below to learn more about statutes of limitations in Florida and your rights.There’s a five-year limit to act on a contract in Florida, but you only have two years to sue someone for their negligence after a car accident. In any case, it’s vital to act quickly. Any delays give insurance adjusters resources to minimize or deny your claim.

Move Quickly Through the Process

Shortly after the crash occurs, you should hire a lawyer to help safeguard your rights. A lawyer can help you understand if you need to file a claim with your insurance provider or if you can file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. A lawyer can also help you seek medical care quickly, preserving as much evidence as possible before it’s too late.

At Dismuke Law, PLLC, we encourage you to never sit on your rights. You don’t want to lose out on critical compensation because you waited too long to move forward with the process. Instead, you should take the necessary steps to seek justice.
