If you are someone who has been injured in a train accident, you must ensure that you file your claim in a timely fashion. While the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Florida is, in most cases, four years, this is not so when it comes to filing a lawsuit for an injury that occurred on property owned by a municipality. Instead, if you were injured on a state-owned train in an accident, you will have to file a Notice of Claim within three years of the date of your accident. You will then have to wait 180 days to file your lawsuit. If you do not follow this procedure, you will most likely be barred from suing. We are ready to help you today–all you have to do is pick up the phone and give us a call.
