TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Legal Newsline) - An absolute two-year limit on liability against the estate of a dead person doomed a lawsuit by women who were injured in an accident with a man driving a company car, the Florida Supreme Court ruled.
A Florida Supreme Court justice on Wednesday said an "upheaval" in probate practice could result if an appellate decision barring insurance liability lawsuits after two years is upheld in a case involving Lewis Bear Co., which was sued after a since-deceased employee injured two women with a company truck.
