Florida is known for its diverse wildlife, from alligators and snakes to bears and coyotes. For residents living in communities governed by homeowners’ associations (HOAs), interactions with local wildlife can be quite common. But what happens when an individual is harmed by wildlife within an HOA community? Lindsay Michael answers that question in this week's Briefing: bit.ly/3DWkw1u #TaylorDayLaw #WhenItMatters #TheBriefing #GeneralLiability

We aren’t just advocating for our clients in courthouses!

We make it a priority to support our clients wherever we can, including educating our elected officials on the challenges facing the construction industry statewide.  #TaylorDayLaw #WhenItMatters #ConstructionLaw

John Kessenich and Nicholas Bussé recently obtained a favorable verdict for clients in an auto injury matter in Polk County, Florida. The Plaintiff had extensive treatment, including radiofrequency ablation, and was recommended to undergo a cervical fusion. The Defense admitted liability and strategically focused on the Plaintiff’s various health conditions as the actual cause of his alleged injuries and pain. At the close of the case, the Plaintiff asked the jury for $5.3 million. The Defense suggested the jury award the Plaintiff approximately $9,000, a figure reflective of the Plaintiff’s initial treatment. Ultimately, the jury returned a verdict of $8,397.25, $65,000 less than the last pre-trial offer, further triggering the Defense's Proposal for Settlement. #TaylorDayLaw #WhenItMatters #Win #AutoDefense #PersonalInjury

Andrew Leggette and Shaw M. Ashley recently obtained a favorable verdict for a small business client in a bodily injury matter in Osceola County, Florida. The trial was difficult as the Plaintiff underwent a lumbar fusion and otherwise had no prior treatment history. Despite this, the Defense admitted liability and anchored their trial strategy focusing on the Plaintiff’s degenerative condition causing the need for the fusion. At the close of the case, the Plaintiff asked the jury for $1.3 million while the Defense suggested that the jury award $40,000, a figure reflective of the Plaintiff’s initial care. Ultimately, the jury returned a verdict of $40,000, nearly $160,000 less than the last pre-suit offer and will further trigger the Defense PFS.  #TaylorDayLaw #WhenItMatters #FavorableVerdict #BodilyInjury
