Statue of limitations in FL for negligence & breach of contract

I was placed in an advanced flight school program according to previous training I had done. I spent a great deal of money only to find the school who I had signed an enrollment contract with prior to had been negligent in putting me in the wrong program based on federal aviation regulations that they overlooked. I am in serious debt over this. The head instructor of the program told the owner that I lied about my previous training which is untrue.

Do I have any avenue to fix this and what are my time limitations. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Statue of limitations in FL for negligence & breach of contract

It is hard to determine whether you have a claim based on your facts. The statute of limitations for the breach of a written contract is 5 years, 4 years for an oral contract. The statute of limitations for megligence is 4 years, but 2 years for professional megligence. There are mant exceptions, howevr, so consult with counsel to determine which limitations period provides to your particular facts.
