What Your Palm Beach County Accident Attorney Should Know About Foreign Corporations

Notice to Foreign Corporations Doing Business in Florida: Register and Pay Your Taxes

If you are injured in a Palm Beach County car accident by someone on the job, chances could be that person is employed by a foreign corporation, a corporation registered in some state other than Florida.  How does this affect your Lake Worth car accident case?  Well, if the corporation did not register as a foreign corporation transacting business in Florida, meaning, they did not have authority to conduct business within the state, they could be barred by Florida statute from defending a lawsuit in the state.  Therefore, you, the accident victim, could sue them and recover the highest verdict possible and they could do nothing about it unless they register the business and pay their back taxes.
