In Florida, understanding the concept of civil conspiracy is crucial for any individual or business involved in legal disputes where cooperative misconduct may have occurred. At The Law Office of Robert Eckard & Associates, P.A., we have a strong track record of addressing such cases with decisive action and thorough legal counsel.

Understanding Civil Conspiracy

Civil conspiracy in Florida occurs when two or more parties agree to commit an unlawful act that results in damage to another party. This definition includes several key components that are crucial for establishing a case:

  • Agreement: A mutual understanding must exist between the conspirators to perform an unlawful act. This is the foundation of the conspiracy, indicating collaboration and shared intent.
  • Intent: Each participant must have the intention to carry out the agreed-upon unlawful act, aligning their motives toward a common unlawful objective.
  • Actual Damages: The conspiracy must directly result in damages, adversely impacting another party, which are essential for claiming civil liability.
  • Participant Knowledge: It is not necessary for all conspirators to know every detail of the unlawful plan, as long as they are united in the goal and participate in the scheme.
  • No Need for Completion: In Florida, the wrongful act itself does not need to be accomplished to establish a conspiracy. The mere existence of an agreement and the intent to execute the plan are sufficient, even if some conspirators do not actively participate in its execution.

Legal Framework and Implications

In Florida, establishing a civil conspiracy necessitates demonstrating that concerted actions were taken with the intent to cause harm. This process can be complex, often demanding extensive investigation and detailed evidence presentation.

Our Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

I was referred to Robert by Ruge Law Group when they were actually KRG Law Group. They handled a car accident I was involved in. This was a business debt collection levied against our company by an employee’s debt collector. He and his colleagues handled it flawlessly. He and his staff are beyond impressive and do everything they can to take the cases brought before them. I came back to them with a very big case. I don’t want to dox anyone in the office other than the name on the business. However, they handled it in the most professional, respectful, and caring way possible. J, you did an amazing job and due diligence! Robert, I wanted to personally thank you for representing us in the past and in the future. You and your paralegals are above Top Shelf. This firm is straight Louis XIII.

I hired Drew to assist with a business dispute that I encountered with a fellow member of the Florida Bar. Drew was very professional and was able to negotiate a positive settlement for me.

I hired Mr. Patterson (due to another attorney's referral) to handle what I viewed as a complex case. Because of Mr. Patterson's knowledge of the applicable laws and forethought of opposing counsel's strategy, I'm happy to say the outcome was "excellent." I generally do not post but Mr. Patterson absolutely deserves a well appreciated applause for his legal performance. That said, I also referred him to my sister which also had successful results. Thank you, Mr. Patterson.

As always, you (and BK) are rockstars! I couldn't be more grateful to have you both on my side. I appreciate all that you both do.

You are amazing! Thank you so much! I’ll give you a 5-star review, you’re the best!
