Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida
Defendant not served yet but filing things in the court?
Sat. I received a motion to dismiss my complaint from a defendant and they have not even been served yet. Is this allowed? And must I answer it?
(they knew about the case there are other defendants)

If you have filed a claim against someone, they can respond even though they were not served. That is what you want them to do. Yes, you should handle the motion to dismiss or file an amended complaint to address any deficiencies in the original complaint.
