Florida law at a glance
- The Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (Chapter 501, Part II, Florida Statutes) allows claims for actual damages, and the court may award attorney’s fees to the prevailing party.
- A civil theft claim under section 772.11 can lead to treble damages, but it requires a pre-suit written demand and can expose the claimant to fees if the claim lacks support.
- Fraud claims are generally subject to a four-year statute of limitations, which can run from when the fraud was or should have been discovered (sections 95.11 and 95.031).
