They say that time waits for no one. As our personal injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Aronberg & Aronberg know, neither does justice.
Let’s clarify that: if you’ve been injured due to the wrongdoing of another, you only have a certain amount of time during which you can file a legal claim seeking compensation for damages. After that window of time expires, even if you suffered a serious, life-long injury that will plague you for the rest of your life, you’re pretty much out of luck in terms of seeking compensation from the negligent party. The rules that govern the time periods discussed above can be found in Florida’s Statute of Limitations on Actions.
Below, our Palm Beach and Broward County personal injury attorneys have outlined some of the time limits on legal actions as they relate to a couple of the most common types of legal matters that we handle.
PERSONAL INJURY CASES
MEDICAL (PROFESSIONAL) MALPRACTICE CASES
Our South Florida personal injury lawyers know that the process of seeking and obtaining compensation from the negligent party and/or their insurance company, while it does not always involve actual an courtroom trial, is a lengthy one. For this reason, it is imperative that you contact an attorney as soon as you have experienced a potentially harmful incident (i.e., a car accident, a surgery after which you feel worse than you should, etc.). If you have any questions related to this issue or any other personal injury matter, please call our lawyers at the Law Offices of Aronberg & Aronberg by calling 561-266-9191 or e-mailing daronberg@aronberglaw.com.
