Legal Question in Insurance Law in Florida

I have a lawsuit that has been postponed against GEICO due to criminal charges

(1st degree insurance fraud and providing false report to leo) that were pending against me due to the claim. The chargers are now dismissed, what is the statue of limitations for suing my past insurance company? I would be suing them because they denied my claim. My car was bought from a private owner and I had it insured for over two years with them, when the care was stolen I reported it through there investigation they found that my car had a cloned VIN. Instead of going after the person it was brought from they tried to accuse me of wrong doing. I have also moved from the area (Northern, Fl) where my car was initially stolen from and now live in South, Fl can I file my claim here? I don't have my original policy.

In Florida, the statute of limitations to bring an action on a written contract is five years. You have to file the action where the breach and events transpired and where the contract was entered into. In this case, you need to file in northern Florida.
