Plantation is governed by a City Council. It includes one Mayor, one Council President, four Councilmembers, one City Manager, and one City Clerk. Lawsuits against the City must be approved by the City Council. These are known as cases of “sovereign immunity.” Sovereign immunity cases against any city, any county or the State of Florida carry with them restrictions and limitations. These include notice requirements and caps on the amount of money that can be recovered in a personal injury lawsuit (typically $200,000 – with the exception of a “claims bill” passed in the Florida State Legislature in Tallahassee).

Because these damages are speculative, Mr. Quackenbush will need to hire a “vocational rehabilitation” expert to meet with you, evaluate your job and attempt to determine what type of work (if any) you’ll be able to do in the future. He may also hire an expert called an “economist” to attempt to quantify these damages and give a number for how much money you will lose into the future as a result of your not being able to work or not being able to work as much.
