Ana Bermudrez v. Barry Howard and Yaden's Auto Sales, Inc.

Case Number: 1:22-cv-00333

Judge: Robert L. Hinkle

Court: United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida (Alachua County)

Plaintiff's Attorney: Jessica J. Gonzlez-Monge - 800-355-34235

Defendant's Attorney: Sean Lawrence Mulhall and Peggy A. Struallo

Description: Gainesville, Florida personal injury car wreck lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sued the Defendants on auto negligence theories.

This case was filed in the Circuit Court of the Eight Judicial Circuit, 01-02022-CA-003107, and was removed to federal court by the Defendants.

Florida operates under a legal doctrine of “pure comparative negligence.” Under this doctrine, a driver's percentage of fault will determine the amount of compensation they are entitled to. Fortunately, even if you played a role in your accident, you could still recover damages.

The Florida wrongful death statute allows the victim's estate to sue on behalf of the surviving family members. The personal representative can bring a case against a person whose “wrongful act, negligence, default, or breach of contract or warranty” caused the victim's death.

Outcome: Settled for an undisclosed sum and dismissed with prejudice.
