Charles L. Lieupo v. Simon's Trucking, Inc.

Summary

The court held that the private cause of action under section 376.313(3), Florida Statutes, permits recovery for personal injury damages. It concluded that the statute's plain-language reference to "all damages" is not limited by a narrower damages definition applicable only to a separate statutory scheme. The court receded from the contrary application of precedent, quashed the First District's decision, and remanded.
