Q: My DL was taken from me by a lawyer in 1994. I was in a car accident and it was my fault. DUI. And I can't pay
Is there a statue of limitation on this
A: Have you contacted the Fla. Dept. of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to ask what you can do to reinstate your DL? Generally, DL suspension for failure to pay a money judgment arising from a car accident is up to three years. The statute of limitations is irrelevant - that's about deadlines for filing cases. Or was your DL revoked by the CRIMINAL COURT? - which is a different kettle of fish than suspension for failure to pay a civil money judgment. Your rights and remedies depend on which of those two situations it is.
