Florida’s Statute of Limitations
In Florida, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline means losing your right to compensation entirely, so it is critical to consult an attorney promptly after your injury.
Timeline of a Typical Florida Personal Injury Case
Most Florida personal injury cases follow a predictable timeline. The investigation and medical treatment phase typically takes 3–12 months. The demand and negotiation phase takes 1–6 months. If litigation is necessary, the discovery and trial preparation phase takes 6–18 months.
How Pre-Settlement Funding Helps During the Wait
The average Florida personal injury case takes 1–3 years to resolve. Pre-settlement funding from Rapid Legal Funding gives you the financial stability to wait for a fair settlement rather than accepting a lowball offer out of financial desperation.
