Florida
Linton Robinson & Higgins’s Florida office serves clients in the following areas:
Changes in Florida Tort law
On March 24, 2023, Florida enacted changes to its Tort law that affects personal injury cases.
One change reduced the time limit in which you could file a lawsuit from 4 years to 2 years.
Another important change transitioned Florida from ‘pure comparative negligence,’ to “modified comparative negligence.” Under this new law, plaintiffs must prove the defendant is more than 50% at fault for causing harm.
