Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

Privileged Information
I am the Plaintiff in a case where the attorney who represents the Defendant works for the Defendant's insurance company. I am not suing the Insurance company. Are the conversations between the insured carrier and the defendant privileged information? How about documents related to the claim about the accident involving this defendant, are they considered work of product?

Re: Privileged Information

The conversations between the defendant and the attorney

representing him are privileged. The conversations

between the defendant and non-attorneys working for

the insurance company are not per se privileged,

but may not be subject to discovery per the work

product doctrine. That of course would depend on

all the facts and circumstances.
