ALLIED SYSTEMS, LTD., ETC., APPELLANT,
v.
BENJAMIN KAUFMAN, ETC., APPELLEE

Fla. 3d DCA | 2006-12-20
No. 3D06-1513
Before FLETCHER and CORTINAS, JJ., and SCHWARTZ, Senior Judge.
946 So. 2d 1154 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (2006)


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court’s non-final order denying the defendant Allied Systems, Ltd.’s motion to transfer venue to Flagler County. This action arose out of a motor vehicle collision in Flagler County that resulted in the death of Jessica Kaufman. Here, the deceased was a resident of Bro-ward County and her surviving mother and father are residents of Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, respectively. We conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in determining that venue is proper in Miami-Dade County. See Hyatt Corp. v. Howarth, 678 So. 2d 823, 824 (Fla. 3d DCA 1996) (The trial court abuses its discretion “ ‘only where no reasonable [person] would take the view adopted by the trial court.’ ”) (quoting Canakaris v. Canakaris, 382 So. 2d 1197 (Fla.1980)).

Affirmed.
