Invasion Of Privacy Statute Of Limitations in Florida

For a claim of invasion of privacy in Florida, the statute of limitations is governed by Fla. Stat. § 95.11 (2024), as amended by 2023 HB 837, effective March 24, 2023. This statute establishes a two-year limitations period for such actions. The clock typically begins to run when the cause of action accrues, meaning when the plaintiff knew or should have known of the invasion. The verified two-year figure is codified in the statute, which also sets out factors and exceptions that may affect accrual or tolling. The worked example below illustrates how this two-year period applies in a typical scenario. To estimate the limitations deadline for a specific set of facts, use the DocketMath calculator, which applies the governing statute and its official source.

Governing authority

In Florida, the statute of limitations rule is set by Fla. Stat. § 95.11 (2024) (as amended by 2023 HB 837, eff. Mar. 24, 2023). The verified packet cites Fla. Stat. § 95.11 (2024) (as amended by 2023 HB 837, eff. Mar. 24, 2023) (https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2024/0095.11).

Deadline example

For a Florida invasion of privacy limitations check, use the verified limitations period from the current rule packet: 2 years. The authority packet cites Fla. Stat. § 95.11 (2024) (as amended by 2023 HB 837, eff. Mar. 24, 2023) (https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2024/0095.11).

Example inputs:

• Accrual date: 2024-04-25
• Filing date checked: 2026-04-25

Calculation:

• Start with the accrual date.
• Add 2 years.
• The example deadline is 2026-04-25.

This example is generated from the verified facts packet rather than freeform prose. Confirm tolling, discovery rules, and claim-specific exceptions before relying on the date.
