Civil Options For Victims Of Crime, Orlando, FL

Victim Service Center of Central Florida

Jason Turchin, Esq. explored the various options for crime victims in the State of Florida, from restitution to the Florida Crime Victim Compensation Fund to pursing a civil claim on behalf of crime victims.

Q. I dated a chiropractor that is treating a woman who is suing me for personal injury, is this a conflict of interest?

15 January 2019

A: This may raise an issue of credibility for the doctor if the case ever went to trial. The doctor may be subject to cross examination if he/she was brought in to trial to testify against you. It does not mean the person is not hurt per se, as injuries could manifest weeks after the accident.

Q. What's the difference between strict and regular liability for products liability cases?

15 January 2019

A: Generally, Florida subscribes to strict liability for product liability cases. To give a fair answer, we may need to know more about the facts as to what concerns you or gives rise to the question here.

Q. I never received a recall notice in the mail and then was injured as a result of not fixing the issue with my car. Can I

15 January 2019

A: Short answer is that it depends. Often, the recall notice does not impact whether they are responsible. Many states still allow you to bring a claim under product liability law and hold the manufacturer strictly liable. However, there are limitations as to when you can bring a claim, so you should contact an attorney as soon as possible to see if you can bring a claim.

Q. Can new evidence be introduced at mediation or no?

15 November 2018

A: If it is mediation, you may be able to still introduce additional evidence, since mediation is confidential and for purposes of settlement typically. As to whether you can actually use the evidence if the case proceeded to trial, it depends on the case, and the status of it. If you want the other side to have time to consider the evidence at mediation, consider whether it is best to let them see or know about it before so they can review it or whether it is best to bring it up at mediation.

Q. Can a uninsured motorcycle driver get a rental if they are not at fault but the other party is?

26 August 2018

A: Yes it is possible. Oftentimes, if liability is not an issue, the adjuster for the at-fault party may authorize a rental and pay it directly. However, if the vehicle is totaled, they may either not pay you for a rental, or could authorize a short rental term while they are negotiating with you or until the check comes in. A lot depends on the adjuster. That being said, if they are at fault and won't give a rental, but you require a rental through the time they pay you for the full value of your property damage, then you may still be able to recover it afterwards. Just make sure to save your receipt, and try to document your attempts to resolve this with them. It may also depend on the type of coverage the at-fault vehicle has. A few unknowns for us here to fully answer the question. If you were hurt, many injury lawyers may help with the property damage issue as a courtesy and can handle the bodily injury claim on a contingency fee basis, waiving all fees and costs if there is no recovery.

Q. Great-grandmas estate sold for $136k in FL. 1:4 benef.; her son, grandson, me and my brother. How much will I receive?

23 August 2018

A: We would need more information to know how much you would get. We don't know if there are creditors, attorneys' fees, costs, how the property was titled, what the estate documents if any say, etc. Once an asset is available to an estate, there is an order of payment we would need to look at to see what has to get paid, and what would be left to share among the beneficiaries. Sorry if I can't be more of a help, but it is too general of a question to know for sure without understanding all of the estate documents, status of the estate, creditor claims, fees, costs, etc.

Q. What's the statute of limitations for bringing a wrongful death suit in Florida?

23 August 2018

A: I agree with my colleague. I would also add that the time may be limited further if the at-fault party is a federal or state government entity, which may also have pre-suit requirements. If the defendant is a cruise line, the statute of limitations may only be 1 year. It is definitely best to get help as soon as possible who can investigate the claims.
