Premises Liability
We represent hotels, restaurants, retailers and theme parks, as well as public housing authorities, in matters ranging from slip and falls to negligent security, false imprisonment and malicious prosecution claims. RKC has litigated against and is familiar with a large number of plaintiff’s firms throughout the state and has appeared in virtually every state, federal, and appellate court within Florida. Our attorneys have also worked with a number of established experts in various fields, such as engineering, medicine, economics and vocational rehabilitation and have litigated against a number of recurring experts who testify for the plaintiffs.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
As Florida’s highways grow more crowded each year, the number of accidents has also grown. Company vehicles and tractor-trailers continue to be attractive target defendants for lawsuits. RKC has defended trucking companies, fleet vehicles, and employees driving company cars, as well as other covered vehicles, in litigation for 35 years. We have working relationships with accident reconstructionists, biomechanics and other industry-related experts whose assistance in such matters can be invaluable, especially in catastrophic cases.
