Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida
Witness
My daughter worked for a major theme park. She is 22 and now teaching in Japan for a year.
She has received two letters last week. One from the theme park, and the other from a guest at the theme park 4 years ago that tripped in a hole in the concrete and fell, seriously injuring his ankle.
Both attorneys are asking if she remembers the incident because of suit the individual is bringing vs. the theme park.
Suprisingly my daughter does remember and in fact was the one that called the emergency crew and stayed with the guest until help came. She also stanchened off the area.
She is afraid if she responds she remembers she will incurr costs -- phone calls, lost work time, travel expenses... which she cannot afford to incurr.
Question, does the attorney have to reimburse her expenses if she ''comes forward?''

Re: Witness
If she requests reasonable compensation for her time and expense they should agree.
Re: Witness
Your daughter should contact her former employer, the Theme Park, and advise them of what is going on. The Theme Park will likely step in to offer legal counsel to its former employee. The claimant's counsel should cover all reasonable expenses caused by its request for information. However, don't spen a dime until such an agreement is reduced to writing and signed by the party accepting responsibility for such costs.
