Re: Suing a corporation

That is incorrect. You can sue any entity or person, so long as they or their agents owed you a duty of care.

Re: Suing a corporation

The injured person has a claim against the owner of the vehicle, whether it is a corporation or an individual. He or she may also have a claim agains the driver, depending upon the circumstances. You should consult with a lawyer who practices in this area. We would be happy to speak with you about the claim.

The person can sue the corporation. However, in Florida the corporation cannot defend itself. It is required to retain counsel.

Of course. I would not be surprised if there is insurance purchased by the corporation for its vehicles operation. Do you have a traffic report?
