Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

Re: Civil suit for 30 year old case?

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

In almost every circumstance, the answer is no. The statute of limitations limits the length of time in which any action must be brought and 30 years is well outside all codified limitations of actions for any civil actions in Florida.

Re: Civil suit for 30 year old case?

Only in extremely rare and extremely unlikely circumstances. Lawyers never like to say "never" or "impossible," but the question as posed probably comes as close to that as possible.
