Here's something every Tennessee and Florida resident should know, even if you never need it: there's a ticking clock on your right to file a personal injury claim.
In Tennessee, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is just one year from the date of the accident. That's one of the shortest deadlines in the country, and it goes by faster than people expect once medical treatment, insurance back-and-forth, and everyday life get in the way.
In Florida, the deadline is two years, following a change in state law that shortened it from the previous four-year window.
Miss either deadline, and in most cases, you permanently lose the right to pursue compensation, regardless of how clear-cut your case might have been.
There are some exceptions that can shift these timelines depending on the details of your situation, which is exactly why it's worth a conversation rather than an assumption.
If you've been putting off dealing with an accident from a while back, please don't wait any longer to find out where you stand.
