Florida Wrongful Death Statute of Limitations

In every lawsuit, the afflicted party must file a claim within a certain time limit. This time period is known as the statute of limitations. In Florida, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim is two years from the date of death. In other words, if a loved one passes away because of another's recklessness or negligence on July 1, 2005, you must file a Florida wrongful death claim by July 1, 2007. Failing to file a claim within Florida's wrongful death statutes of limitations may prohibit you from ever seeking compensation for your loved one's death.

Therefore, it is important to file your claim within two years of the death to ensure you are able to seek wrongful death damages.
