Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida
what is the statue of limitations in florida in a civil suit
3 Answers from Attorneys
It depends on what the suit is about and who it is against (governmental entity or not). Generally, a negligence suit is 4 years; professional liability is 2 years, breach of written contract is 5 years, breach or oral contract is 4 years. A lawyer would need the facts of your case to give you any answer that is meaningful.
As my colleague said it depends on the lawsuit. Consult with an attorney or check the Florida Statutes online. Regards,
Look up florida statutes on line and look at Florida Statute 95.11 and its subparts. Want to know the law without going to law school? Protect yourself against ripoffs? Sign up for a free legal newsletter on various areas of consumer law by going to www.ConsumerLawyerHelp.com.
