Schaeffler v. Deych
District Court of Appeal of Florida
Decided June 9, 2010No. 4D09-384PublishedCited by 16 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtTaylor, J.
Plaintiffs, Yuliya Deych and Boris Bezrodnyy, sued the defendant, Robert Levinsohn, alleging that he negligently drove his car and struck Deych as she was walking her bicycle across the street. The defendant, through counsel, filed an answer and affirmative defenses. The case was set for jury trial on the trial court’s September 2008 docket. However, on July 27, 2008, the defendant died. Because the trial court erred in proceeding with the action after the defendant’s death and failing to substitute the estate of the decedent as a party, we reverse the final judgment and order a new trial.
