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.
