No Show Mover Must Make Mortgage Payments

A family hired a moving company to pack up their belongings in their home and move them to a new house in another state. The mover packed up everything, but failed to come back for the loading and moving. This was more than merely inconvenient, because the family’s sale of their old house was contingent upon delivery of a vacant house. When the purchasers arrived to find a house full of packed boxes, the sale fell through.

The family of a Florida teen who disappeared more than 30 years ago is closely following a proposal in the state legislature to extend the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit. Under Florida law, plaintiffs have only two years to pursue wrongful death damages in civil court. One backer of the bill, Sen. Jeremy Ring, called the current law antiquated and ineffective. The body of the teen, Jeffrey Klee, was not found until last year.  Breanne Gilpatrick, Miami Herald  03/29/2009
