Nearly $30 Million Settlement in Negligent Security Wrongful Death Case Doug McCarron - ABC WestPalm
ABC News West Palm Beach, WPBF 25 News, filed this story about the $28.9 Million settlement secured in a negligent security case by Doug McCarron and Michael Haggard.
The case has wider implications due to the passing of HB 837 in Florida on March 24, 2023, which implemented new tort reform measures. These measures create significant challenges for plaintiffs in premises liability cases, including the potential for defendants to argue that an intentional tortfeasor (the person who committed the crime) should be included on the verdict form and that a presumption of non-negligence could apply to the defendant in such situations.
Despite these challenges, Haggard and McCarron communicated to the defendants that they were prepared to take the case to trial, refusing to compromise on their demands. This strategy was effective, resulting in a landmark settlement—the first major negligent security case resolved after the implementation of HB 837.
