How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Fort Myers?

Florida's statute of limitations is 4 years for most personal injury cases, 2 years for wrongful death, and 2-4 years for medical malpractice. However, evidence deteriorates and witnesses forget, so contact our Fort Myers attorneys immediately to protect your claim.
