For a jury to find no fault in a case like this beggars my mind. Either she had a bad lawyer or the defendants had an excellent one or both. BUT I wasn’t there for the proceedings, you just never know what may have clicked with the jury. The retrail (if any) should be interesting!

What MAY have happened (I'm no lawyer) is something similar to a case my lawyer told me about. In Ohio, a neglegent party must be found at least 51% responsible to be liable. If you have several parties involved who made mistakes, is possible that no one reaches 51%. Thus no one is held accountable.

Again, not a lawyer, but this is my understanding.

Florida juries are packed with elderly people who base their decisions on their life experiences. They don’t want to be impolite to insurance companies. The “polite” generation in Florida makes for terrible trials in Florida. The insurance companies luv those old fogies who got by on a nickel back in the day and walked ten miles to school in the snow and they think everyone else should settle for a nickel too. They don’t want to be impolite to the doctors either. Legs, arms, who cares as long as they get their social security check and their medicare.
