Q: Can I file multiple civil law suites in one complaint ? Can I sue individuals involved in same suite?
A:
Consult an attorney because it depends on the facts of your case/dispute, but generally speaking, yes.
Florida Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 1.210 - PARTIES, states as follows:
(a) Parties Generally.
...
All persons having an interest in the subject of the action and in obtaining the relief demanded may join as plaintiffs and any person may be made a defendant who has or claims an interest adverse to the plaintiff. Any person may at any time be made a party if that person's presence is necessary or proper to a complete determination of the cause. Persons having a united interest may be joined on the same side as plaintiffs or defendants, and anyone who refuses to join may for such reason be made a defendant.
