What is the Statute of Limitations for a Texting & Driving Accident Claim in Florida?
The statute of limitations in Florida for filing a personal injury claim due to a texting and driving accident is two years from the date of the accident. This timeframe allows individuals to gather evidence, evaluate their injuries, and seek legal guidance.
