In the State of Florida, the statue of limitations is four years. This means you have no more than four years from the date of the discovery of your injuries to file a personal injury claim. For medical malpractice, the status of limitations is two years. This means you have no more than two years from the date of the discovery of your injuries to file a claim. In Florida, the Discovery rule allows you to file a personal injury claim based on the date the injuries were discovered rather than the date of the accident. The discovery rules apply to when a person discovers the injuries or should have discovered the injuries.

Florida’s personal injury protection (PIP) 14-day rule requires any injured victims to seek medical care within 14 days of an accident.

If you believe you suffered injuries, it is important that you see a qualified healthcare provider right away to get the care you need. If you fail to seek care within the first 14 days, your insurance company will most likely deny your claim benefits.

A qualified healthcare provider might include a medical doctor, dentist, chiropractor, or an emergency medical technician. Visiting a physical therapist, message therapist. Other providers not specifically mentioned above, will not meet the criteria for the 14 Day Rule.

In addition, if you suffered from non-emergency injuries, you can only receive $2,500 in benefits. If you suffered a medical condition, you can receive the maximum payout ( $10,000 P.I.P Benefits); however you might carry a larger policy.
