FAQs
How do construction defect claims work for Hollywood oceanfront properties?
Coastal properties face unique construction issues including salt air corrosion, hurricane damage standards, and waterproofing failures. Florida's construction defect statute requires a pre-suit notice period before filing a lawsuit, and the statute of limitations and repose set time limits on when claims can be brought.
What should Hollywood business owners include in contracts to prevent disputes?
Key provisions include clear performance standards, payment terms and schedules, dispute resolution procedures, termination rights, and liability limitations. For tourism and hospitality businesses, seasonal considerations and force majeure clauses are also important.
Can I dissolve my LLC if my business partner in Hollywood won't cooperate?
Florida law provides for judicial dissolution of an LLC when members cannot agree on management or the business can no longer operate effectively. The court can appoint a receiver, order an accounting, and oversee the distribution of assets according to the operating agreement and Florida statute.
What is the statute of limitations for civil claims in Florida?
Time limits vary by claim type: written contracts have a five-year statute of limitations, oral contracts four years, negligence four years, and fraud four years from discovery. Missing these deadlines typically bars your claim entirely, so consulting an attorney promptly is important.
