Broward Circuit Judge Carlos Rodriguez on Friday denied a motion by an insurance defense law firm to strike a deceptive trade lawsuit filed by a workers’ compensation claimant who was offended by the firm’s online pronouncement that it litigates “with a baseball bat.”
Tim Neal, an employee with a franchisee of Stanley Steemer Carpet Cleaner Co., claimed the employer tried to intimidate him when he hired Boca Raton attorney Robert Winess to help process his claim and ensure he got treatment for a back injury.
