When to File a Property Damage Lawsuit
If someone else damaged your property, it’s important to file a claim as quickly as possible. Florida has a four-year statute of limitations on property damage lawsuits. That means that if you don’t file your case within four years of the date that the defendant damaged your property, you’ll lose your right to claim financial restitution. Because of this, it’s important to contact a lawyer immediately in property damage cases.
When you file a property damage lawsuit, you’ll need to present the court with a few different pieces of evidence:
- Documentation of the damage
- Cost of the damage
- Other costs related to the damage – for example, if someone damaged your car and you needed to rent a car to perform your daily tasks
These factors will determine the total amount of your claim. If your claim is less than $5,000, you’ll have to settle it in small claims court. Otherwise, your lawsuit will be processed by the county’s civil court. If you have any questions about what costs you can include in your property damage claim, consult attorney Wheeler.
Call Today to Speak to a Property Damage Attorney
Property damage claims are similar to personal injury cases. They both utilize state and federal tort laws to recover financial damages from the defendant. Tort law is a particularly old area of the legal system. It’s derived from English common law, and provides legal recourse for a plaintiff to pursue monetary compensation from a defendant that harmed them. You’ll need to prove that the damage was the defendant’s fault in order to win your case. In addition, you’ll need to prove negligence. If you can’t prove both of these factors, you’ll have a difficult time winning your case.
While this task may sound simple enough, navigating the legal system is never easy. Don’t try to pursue your claim alone. Instead, get professional help. This is especially true for property damage cases, where an attorney can be an invaluable ally. A qualified property damage lawyer can help you perform tasks like:
- Collecting evidence
- Completing legal forms and court paperwork
- Negotiating with the defendant
- Appearing for you in court
- Ensuring compliance with court-mandated rules
- Making sure you don’t miss any important deadlines
Without enlisting the help of a lawyer, you’ll have a difficult road ahead of you. If you miss any court deadlines or file any paperwork incorrectly, the defendant can move to dismiss your claim.

Words can’t even describe the harassment I endured with my ex in this case. The anxiety and my lack of court knowledge was crippling. I had a very poor attorney that took my money and did nothing accomplished nothing for weeks. That’s when I called Attorney Valentina Wheeler into my messy case - she turned my nightmare into hope and I finally had a feeling of being heard and empowered. During our consultation she took time to hear everything, looked at the entire case, and never made me feel rushed. When she stepped in, the case moved so quick and in my favor. She is a machine! She was determined and stood by my side through all the lies and manipulation from an unreasonable ex. She is intelligent and fierce. She is so savage in the most eloquent way, with the most heart. My son is my life and Valentina embraced that. She is such a passionate attorney because she understands the importance of family. She is my champion in the courtroom. She pours everything into her work and always keeps her word. When she says she will file or get a hearing, you will see the results of her work in a timely manner. She is so responsive and she always made me feel like I am her most important case.
I am a single mother and attorney’s fees was the one reason I tried to stay out of the courts. Her billing is fair and very clear. She is worth every cent. She fought for me during this most challenging time and I stopped stressing. I am happier than I’ve ever been. I can focus on taking care of myself and my son because I trust Valentina will take care of everything in the courts. That’s the most rewarding feeling. I am just so blessed I found her. I am very pleased with her services and representation. She is truly one of a kind; a rare talent. She saved me from a pit of darkness.
Thank you so much for for caring Valentina. I’ll be forever grateful. I can’t thank you enough for the amazing work you have done and continue to do for myself and my son! read lessI consulted with Ms. Wheeler about filing for dissolution of marriage in FL vs another state and she quickly took... read moreI consulted with Ms. Wheeler about filing for dissolution of marriage in FL vs another state and she quickly took me through FL law, its advantages and disadvantages, then honestly advised me to file outside of FL.
