You Snooze, You Lose: Dismissal Obtained for Plaintiff’s Failure to Effectuate Timely Service

Erika Cordovi, of our Miami office, obtained an order of dismissal in a Personal Injury Protection (“PIP”) suit due to the plaintiff’s failure to effectuate timely service of process on our client. The plaintiff exceeded the 120-day service requirement by one week and failed to request an extension of time or show good cause for the delay. With case law supporting her argument, Erika convinced the court to dismiss the plaintiff’s action against our client.
