In the State of Florida, government employees are not immune from liability when a negligence or careless act causes personal injuries or death to another person. This general statement of the law is applicable to police officers as well. In Jacksonville, Florida. Virgil Clair Miller, a 69 year old motorcyclist, was the unfortunate and tragic victim of a motorcycle / automobile accident that took place on Normandy Boulevard. A police officer with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office was driving an unmarked car and was pulling out of a parking lot (Wal Mart) to turn left. According to the story posted in the Florida Times Union, the police officer did not see the motorcyclist prior to impact. Another general maxim of the law is that a driver attempting a left hand turn must yield to traffic unless the driver is turning left on a green arrow. It appears from the brief fact presented that Virgil Clair Miller had the right of way and the police officer was negligent or careless in his or her driving. Since there was a death, a homicide investigation will be conducted. Since the accident involved a JSO officer, the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) will probably lead the investigation.
