Florida law sets specific time limits for filing claims, typically within four years for personal injury cases and two years for wrongful death claims from the date of injury or death. These statutes of limitations create deadlines that cannot be extended except in limited circumstances. Missing these deadlines may eliminate your right to pursue compensation through the courts. It’s critically important to consult with an attorney promptly after an aviation accident to understand applicable deadlines and ensure your claim is filed timely.

Your legal team will work with aviation professionals to reconstruct the accident and establish how another party’s negligence caused your injuries.
Many aviation accident cases settle before trial when parties agree on liability and damages, allowing faster resolution and compensation. Settlement negotiations often take months as evidence is gathered, damages calculated, and discussions with insurance companies conducted. However, if fair settlement cannot be reached, your attorney will prepare comprehensive litigation to take your case to trial.

Our firm pursues settlement when it serves your interests while remaining fully prepared to advocate for you in court and protect your rights through litigation.
