Roof Collapses on Daytona Beach Apartment Building
On Thanksgiving night, after millions of people throughout Florida had sat down to well-stocked tables of turkey and stuffing, a partially repaired roof on a six-story apartment building in Daytona Beach disrupted the otherwise peaceful ending to the holiday for over 100 individuals. According to the official report, it was near midnight when Dorman, a resident of the Overlook Apartments, exited his unit and was met with the sound of running water. The sound was coming from the stairwell and Dorman went to investigate. When he peeked through the doorway and into the stairwell, he saw what looked like a waterfall going down the entirety of the stairs.
Orange County Day Care Destroyed by Morning Fire
A day care in Orange County was severely damaged in a fire that took place early on Wednesday morning, according to a report from fire officials with the Apopka Fire Department. The official report as it currently stands delivers scant information, however it seems that the fire began at some point either very late on Tuesday night or early on Wednesday morning, a factor which meant that at the time of the blaze no one was in the building.

Florida-Based Circus Operator May Face Federal Fines in Wrongful Death
Walker International Events, an entertainment company based in Sarasota, Florida, may face up to $33,000 in federal fines for improperly anchoring a circus tent and failing to heed warnings by the National Weather Service indicating high winds associated with a storm in New Hampshire last August. The storm’s high winds caused the circus tent to topple during a performance, killing a father and his 6-year-old daughter. An additional fifty people were injured in the incident, including two circus workers.
Florida Legislators Should Reconsider Medical Malpractice Damage Caps
There has been a lot of discussion in the media recently on the benefits of limits on the damages that medical malpractice victims can receive in court awards. This discussion is largely fueled by lobbyists and publicists for the insurance and hospital industries who say that damage caps are necessary in order to prevent medical practitioners, healthcare facilities and patients from being punished due to a small minority of negligent individuals and facilities. They say that caps are necessary to keep malpractice insurance premiums affordable for doctors and healthcare facilities and help prevent doctors from moving their practices to other states.
GE Recalls More Than a Million Dishwashers for Fire Hazard
Appliance manufacturer General Electric has announced that it is recalling more than a million dishwashers due to a fire hazard in the heating element. GE is working with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in this recall, which affects at least 1.3 million dishwashers sold under the GE, GE Adora, GE Eterna, GE Profile and Hotpoint brands. GE reports that the heating elements in these appliances can fail and cause fires and has acknowledged that it has received at least seven reports of dishwasher fires with three causing significant property damage.
