Florida Personal Injury Case Value Calculator

Florida is a modified comparative negligence state, so a claimant more than 50% at fault recovers nothing. You have 2 years to file most injury claims, and far less against a government agency.

Florida law

How Florida evaluates a claim

Fault and insurance

Comparative fault
Barred above 50% fault
Insurance system
No-fault (PIP required)
Minimum bodily injury liability
Not required of ordinary drivers
Minimum property damage
$10,000

$10,000 in personal injury protection, which pays 80% of reasonable medical expenses and 60% of lost wages. Treatment must begin within 14 days of the crash, and the full $10,000 is only available if a medical provider certifies an emergency medical condition — otherwise the benefit is limited to $2,500.

Filing deadlines

Personal injury
2 years
Wrongful death
2 years
Government claim
3 years

Missing a deadline generally ends a claim regardless of merit. The government claim deadline is the one most often missed, because it is measured in months or days rather than years.

Medical malpractice non-economic damages

No fixed cap

Florida has no enforceable cap. The statutory caps in Fla. Stat. § 766.118 were held to violate the state constitution’s equal protection clause — for wrongful death in Estate of McCall v. United States (Fla. 2014), and for personal injury in North Broward Hospital District v. Kalitan (Fla. 2017).

Punitive damages

No fixed cap

Generally limited to the greater of three times compensatory damages or $500,000, with higher limits where the defendant’s conduct was motivated by unreasonable financial gain or was intentional. Fla. Stat. § 768.73.

Florida counties

Most local crash data is published by county rather than by city, so county is how a city page is matched to its crash figures.

Florida questions

Common Florida questions

Two years from the date of the injury for most negligence claims, including car accidents. This changed in March 2023: before HB 837, the deadline was four years, and a great deal of published material still says four. Wrongful death is also two years. Claims against a state or local government agency require written notice within three years and have their own procedural steps under Fla. Stat. § 768.28.
