Who's In Your Corner?

Sometimes, your law practice is thrown a curveball it could never have imagined. When that happens, it's important to know that your firm has real support from all of its vendors, including your service of process provider. It's the difference between keeping your cases on track and falling short for your clients. Take Florida's House Bill HB 837, for instance. This unexpected legislation threw Floridian law firms a major curveball, but with the proper support, firms could navigate the changes and keep their cases on track.

The Challenges of HB 837

Firms across Florida found themselves in an uncomfortable position in March 2023, when HB 837 significantly reduced the statute of limitations for general negligence cases from four years to two, causing a seismic shift in their operations.

This rapid change left many personal injury law firms struggling to adjust and concerned they couldn't come through for their clients. One of Florida's top firms faced the daunting task of filing over 25,000 cases within the new, shorter timeframe. They had less than 10 days to file two years' worth of cases. Otherwise, those cases would be lost before they even began.

With the new law in effect immediately, the law firm suddenly needed to file thousands of cases and serve countless documents without delay. Traditional methods weren't sufficient for such a large-scale, urgent task. The firm needed a partner who could provide a fast, efficient, and scalable solution.

That firm turned to ABC Legal for a solution.
