OLIVARES v. ECUACAR RENTAL CORP & RUDNITZKY
The plaintiff, an employee of Brinks Co., was standing behind his opened armored truck preparing a delivery when a tourist driving a rental car suddenly struck him, pinning him to the back of the truck and causing his left leg to be amputated above-the-knee. The plaintiff was able to obtain a settlement far exceeding the $600,000 cap created by the Florida Legislature protecting auto rental companies because of bad faith allegations and because Ecuacar Rent Corp.’s insurer was covering both the car rental company and the driver.
