There is a 4 year statute of limitations on auto accident cases in Florida- you can still assert a claim- the doctor will have to relate your current problems to the accident 3 years ago- a problem if you didn't have treatment for all of that time.

There may still be time to pursue a claim, as Florida generally applies a four-year statute of limitations to negligence involving motor vehicle accidents. The details are critical, however, to knowing whether any other legal notice requirements have been met (i.e. government agencies have notice requirements if you are making a claim against them). You should contact an attorney in your area to discuss your circumstances. If you have a case, then you may be eligible for compensation.
