What This Index Is
Every legal statement on this site carries the subsection it rests on. This page collects all of them so each can be checked against the current text.
It is generated from the built pages rather than maintained by hand — a hand-kept list drifts the moment a page changes, and a stale index is worse than none.
Where a citation appears on a page but has no description here, it is shown as description pending rather than quietly omitted. The bracketed number after each entry is how many pages cite it.

Chapter 95 — Limitations
| Citation | What It Provides |
|---|---|
| Fla. Stat. § 95.11 | Limitations periods — the section as a whole. (6) |
| Fla. Stat. § 95.11(3)(a) | Four-year subsection — now paternity, NOT negligence. Cited only to warn against it. (8) |

| Fla. Stat. § 95.031 | Statute of repose. Referenced as existing; periods not stated on this site. (1) |
The site's most consequential correction lives here. The negligence period moved to § 95.11(5)(a), two years, by section 3 of ch. 2023-15. The March 24, 2023 date comes from that session law's applicability clause, not from the statute text.

Administrative Rules, Session Laws, and Rulemaking
Not statutes, but load-bearing — and two are the source of errors repeated widely elsewhere.
| Source | What It Is, and What to Watch |
|---|---|
| Fla. Admin. Code R. 69O-176.005 | Construes language no longer in the statute, and cites s. 627.736(4)(d), where the eligibility provisions no longer sit. Treat with care. |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is this page for?
It lists every citation the site relies on so each can be verified against the current text. It is generated from the built pages, so it cannot drift out of step with them.
How current is this?
Verified against the official Florida Senate and House statute texts, Cornell's CFR text, and the Federal Register on the review date in the byline above. Statutes are amended — check the text yourself before relying on any summary, including ours.
Why is s. 95.11(3)(a) listed if it is the wrong subsection?
The site cites it deliberately, to warn against it. The negligence period moved to s. 95.11(5)(a) in 2023, and s. 95.11(3)(a) now concerns the determination of paternity.
What does it cost to hire an e-bike accident lawyer in Florida?
Shiner Law Group, which operates this website, handles these cases on a contingency basis: the consultation is free, and there is no attorney's fee unless there is a recovery, with the terms set out in a written fee agreement.
