How quickly do I need to file an elder abuse lawsuit?


If you’d like to file a legal claim against the nursing home and/or its staff member(s), you’ll need to do so within the period specified by Florida’s statute of limitations. The time you have to file a claim and get compensated for your losses through a lawsuit depends on the claim you’ll be filing.

For personal injury claims, you need to file a claim within four years of the date of the abuse. For wrongful death claims, families need to file a claim within two years of the family member’s death. Outside of these time frames, you will likely not be able to receive compensation through a legal claim.
