In Florida, there is a legal time limit, known as the statute of limitations, within which you must file a negligent security lawsuit. The statute of limitations sets the maximum time allowed after an incident for legal proceedings.
The general statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Florida, including negligent security claims, is four years from the date of the incident. This means you typically have four years from the date of the negligent security incident to file a lawsuit.
However, exceptions and variations to the statute of limitations may apply based on the specific circumstances of your case. Consult with a personal injury attorney in Florida to understand how the statute of limitations applies to your situation and to ensure that you initiate legal proceedings within the required timeframe.
