There were approximately 149,728 people living in Hollywood as of the year 2015, so Hollywood is a relatively large City. In fact, it is currently the twelfth biggest City in the State of Florida.

The City of Hollywood was founded in 1921 and incorporated as a City in 1925. It grew quickly in population in the 1950’s and 1960’s.

The City of Hollywood is governed by a City Commission and run by a City Manager. Hollywood has a Mayor, a Vice Mayor, five City Commissioners, and a City Clerk.

Lawsuits against the City are referred to as cases of “sovereign immunity” and must be approved by the City Commission. Sovereign immunity cases have restrictions such as notice requirements and limitations such as caps on damages. That is, lawsuits against a city, county or the State can typically only result in up to $200,000 in compensation – unless “claims bill” legislation is passed in the State Legislature in Tallahassee.

Hollywood’s nickname is “Diamond of the Gold Coast.” The City was named after Hollywood, California and was originally intended to be a motion picture center. The original name of the City was “Hollywood by the Sea.” The City has eight sister cities.

When a minor is injured in an accident, it is typically the child’s parents who must step in and act as the technical “Plaintiffs” and bring the suit.

As future lost wages are speculative, they can be difficult to determine. As such, Mr. Quackenbush may hire a vocational rehabilitation expert to evaluate you and your job and determine what type of work, if any, you will be able to do in the future. He may also hire an expert called an “economist” to try to quantify the amount of loss wages you will experience in the future.

Your case will be strongest if the crime occurred in a high-crime area because, in that case, the owner of the property should have known of the threat and provided more security.
