Florida’s Car Accident Statute of Limitations
You have more time than you might suspect to file a car accident claim. Florida Statutes § 95.11 allows you to take up to four years to act on your losses. Try to file your complaint outside of that timeline, however, and Florida courts have the right to turn your case away.

What to Do In Your Four Years of Actionable Time
Four years may seem like a considerable amount of time, but you have to use them well. In four years or less, you need to bring together a car accident claim that elaborates on:
- The identity of the person liable for your car accident
- The nature of the injuries a negligent party caused
- The value of those injuries
- Evidence of negligence, a particular party’s involvement, and the value of your losses
While you may have the chance to elaborate on this information in front of a judge, including the bulk of it in your complaint may make it easier for your case to move forward when it reaches a county clerk’s desk.
Gather Evidence of Roadway Negligence
As mentioned, drivers owe one another care on the road. This duty of care applies to more than drivers, however. Pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and truck drivers are all expected to uphold a duty of care and act reasonably around you on the road. Parties that refuse to act reasonably can be held responsible for your accident.
You must, however, present evidence of that negligence if you want to bring a civil claim against another party after a car accident. Car accident evidence can include footage of the alleged negligence or bystander testimonies. Expert witnesses can also weigh in regarding the nature of your accident and your related injuries.
You are not responsible for wrangling this evidence, though if you can gather some of the scene of the accident, your case may be easier. It’s part of a Bonita Springs car accident attorney’s job to bring together the evidence needed to establish your case in a civil complaint.
Estimate Your Car Accident Losses
As mentioned, there are various parties that you can hold liable for your accident. You need to know how much financial support you want to request from these parties, though, when you are first building your complaint. With a case estimate on hand, you can more easily navigate the filing process and even go into settlement negotiations with more confidence.
To estimate the value of your case, you should start by establishing the value of your economic car accident losses. These can include the following losses:
- Medical expenses related to post-accident care
- The replacement and/or repairing of damaged property
- Wages lost while you had to take off time to recover
- At-home assistance
Once you have the sum of your bills calculated, our team can modify that total. We do this using multipliers that stand in for non-economic, or non-bill generating, losses. These can range from the emotional distress of your car accident to wrongful death, should a case turn tragic.
