Generally, two years from the date of the accident. Following Florida’s 2023 tort reform under HB 837, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including pedestrian accidents, was reduced to two years. Wrongful death claims also carry a two-year deadline, running from the date of passing. Cases filed in Palm Beach County Circuit Court after this window may be dismissed. Acting quickly helps preserve critical evidence and witness accounts.
