Third District Court of Appeal in Miami, FL. (Credit: Candace West)
A Florida Supreme Court ruling triggered an automatic appeal following a trial judge’s denial of summary judgment based upon sovereign immunity. And the appeal could have a precedent-setting outcome in Florida’s Third District Court of Appeal, according to two Miami attorneys.
John C. Lukacs Jr. and Manny Dieguez, partners at Raposo & Lukacs and Armand & Dieguez, respectively, represent the Estate of Annie Becerra in a wrongful death lawsuit. They successfully argued in the Miami-Dade Circuit Court that first responders neglected Becerra for approximately 75 minutes as she sat hunched over in the passenger seat of a crashed vehicle.
