Government Tort Claim Statute Of Limitations in Florida

Florida’s statute of limitations for government tort claims is governed by Fla. Stat. § 95.11 (2024), as amended by 2023 HB 837 effective March 24, 2023. This provision establishes a 2-year period for filing such claims against the state or its subdivisions. The verified figure of 2 years reflects the general limitations window, with the official source at flsenate.gov providing the full statutory text, including any exceptions or factors that may affect the calculation. The worked example below demonstrates how the 2-year period applies to a specific factual scenario. To estimate a result tailored to individual circumstances, readers should use the DocketMath calculator, which incorporates the statute’s precise terms from the official source.
