- Criminal DefenseFor cases outside of the criminal law venue, the Burden of Proof is with the party or person making the claim. In civil cases, such as cases involving personal injury, wrongful death, and business and commercial litigation, winning requires that your case be proved by a “preponderance of the evidence,” which means that over 50% of the believable evidence must be in the plaintiff’s favor.
- Wrongful DeathStatutes of Limitations often vary from state to state. Common Statutes of Limitations in Florida are 1 year (for wages), 2 years (Medical or Legal Malpractice, Negligence, Wrongful Death), and 5 years (Contract claims). However, other time limitations might apply. For example, most Cruise Lines must be provided specific timely notice of a claim within 6 months and must be sued within 1 year. These limitations periods are provided for in the cruise contract, not in the Florida statutory law.

- Premises LiabilityPremises liability refers to the legal responsibility of property owners for injuries that occur on their premises. However, it’s important to note that just because an injury occurred on someone else’s property doesn’t automatically make them liable. In order for legal liability to attach, the injured party must prove that the property owner was careless or negligent in some way. This is known as “negligence liability”. Strict liability, on the other hand, is a legal term that refers to liability that attaches even in the absence of negligence or carelessness.
