Legal Tip: Spotting Warehouse Lien Violations & Seeking Damages Did you know Florida law has strict requirements that warehouses must follow when enforcing a lien? If they fail to comply, you may be entitled to damages. Here’s how to spot potential violations: 1.) Improper Notification: The warehouse must notify all parties with an interest in the goods via certified or registered mail. Texts or emails don’t count. 2.) Incomplete Notice Details: The notice must include an itemized statement of charges, a demand for payment within at least 10 days, and the sale’s time and location. 3.) Noncompliant Sale Process: Sales must occur at or near the storage location and be advertised in a local newspaper for two consecutive weeks. 4.) Failure to Return Excess Proceeds: If your goods are sold, the warehouse must return any remaining funds after settling the debt. If you suspect a violation, our experienced attorneys can help you with your case and recover damages.
