Criminal Defense
Stephanie Hines, a new addition to the firm, joins us with a background in both civil and criminal law. After graduating with Honors from both the University of Florida for undergraduate and the University of Mississippi School of Law, Stephanie began her career practicing in the civil world. During that time, Stephanie focused primarily on personal injury, medical malpractice, and social security – fighting hard for clients, and handling cases through settlements totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Wrongful Death
A wrongful death case may be pursued if a person’s life is taken through negligent or willful acts of another person or other people. It is the responsibility of the heirs or beneficiaries to bring a wrongful death action against those liable for the death. Wrongful death cases fall under Tort Law which does impose various conditions, such as...
Traffic Violations
Misdemeanors
Stephanie then turned her attention to the criminal world, to serve the community and gain trial experience. During that time, Stephanie prosecuted both misdemeanors and felony crimes, taking over 25 cases to jury verdict and securing crucial convictions.
Assault
Almost every case involving personal injury claims has a similar set of requirements or elements in order for a plaintiff or injured party to recover. The four basic elements of a personal injury claim are duty, breach, causation, and damages. There are rare circumstances in which one of these elements may be presumed by law. For instance, in certain cases of strict liability, the element of duty is presumed to exist simply because a manufacturer placed a product into the stream of commerce. This would fall under the category of strict product liability and is covered in other areas of our informational website. Some personal injury cases require an additional element of intent. They are known as “intentional torts” and include assault and battery.
Murder
No. A wrongful death requires civil proceedings, whereas murder involves criminal proceedings. If a person is charged with wrongful death, he/she will only be responsible for providing the deceased individual’s family with monetary compensation to cover the damages. If a person is charged with murder, he/she will face significant jail time. A wrongful death may and often does occur without meeting the legal requirements of murder.

Unfair Competition
Can a business sue another business? Of course. Business-to-business disputes make up a large portion of civil lawsuits. Most often, breach of contract, open account, or account stated are the causes of action. Open account and account stated claims apply to situations where businesses have an ongoing relationship of transactions and an unpaid balance exists. In other words, there may not necessarily be one contract, but more of a series of contracts or purchase orders for which payment is past due. Other disputes can include unfair competition, interference with a contract, interference with a business relationship, professional negligence or professional malpractice. As a whole, these types of law fall into a category known as business litigation or commercial litigation. The contract litigation attorneys at Warner, Sechrest & Butts have extensive experience handling business disputes and commercial litigation cases. To discuss your situation, schedule a consultation to determine what type of legal action, if any, may assist your business in resolving an issue that is damaging your bottom line.

Land Use and Zoning
Landlord-Tenant Disputes
Property Damage
If any of the foregoing elements are missing, you will not be able to have a successful negligence action in Florida. Many cases may have strong evidence of two or three elements, but may still fail as a result of lack of a single element. For instance, if an individual is hit by a moving vehicle in a parking lot but suffers no injuries or property damage, the individual would not have a successful claim for negligence. In this instance, the claimant would meet two out of four elements of negligence but not be able to prove the event CAUSED the claimant to suffer actual DAMAGES.

Personal Injury
A personal injury is any wrong or damage done to one person by another person or business, usually through negligent, reckless, or intentional behavior. When you receive a personal injury, the circumstance may seem to compound itself. A personal injury action occurs when a person incurs physical and psychological damages that are wholly or partly due to the negligent or intentional action or inaction of another person or organization who owes you a duty of care.
Medical Malpractice
If you are injured in an accident, a slip and fall, or due to medical malpractice, it is a difficult and scary time for you and your family. The bills begin to stack up, you may have additional expenses for co-pays, physical therapy, and prescription medications. What if you have lost time at work? Is any of this going to be recoverable against the responsible party? This is where the law of civil damages becomes important and you should seek the advice of an expert.
Auto Accidents
Dog Bites
Another area in which strict liability exists is in cases involving dog bites. In Florida, an owner of a dog is strictly liable for damages resulting from the owner’s dog attacking or biting another person, irrespective of whether the owner acted negligently or knew that the dog was potentially dangerous. Some other instances in which the defendant may be held strictly liable include injuries arising out of demolition or explosive activities, injuries from wild animals in captivity on one’s property, and those individuals who dig a large hole in the ground without properly barricading the hole or filling it back up.

Estate Planning

Bankruptcy
Foreclosure
Purchasing a home in foreclosure can be either wise or foolish, depending on the conditions and price of the home. It is best to purchase the home during the pre-foreclosure stage or during the early stages of the foreclosure process. The price of a home may be more cost-effective in foreclosure, but the cost of repair and assumed debt may make the investment a poor decision. Consider speaking to experienced real estate attorneys before acting.
