William D. Ricker, Jr., of Fleming, O'Bryan & Fleming, Fort Lauderdale, for appellees Bricker and Britton, et al., P.A.
Appellant, the successful plaintiff in a personal injury action against appellees Aaron and her insurance company, Allstate, appeals the dismissal with prejudice of his impleader complaint against the attorneys who represented Aaron in that action, and the dismissal of his petition for proceedings supplementary pursuant to section 56.29, Florida Statutes (1983), for collection of the outstanding $12 million judgment he has against Aaron.
Appellant argues that he should be allowed to implead the attorneys to collect money damages for legal malpractice he claims they committed in their representation of Aaron in the personal injury action. He also argues that the trial court should allow him to use the proceedings supplementary mechanism to execute upon those potential legal malpractice claims, asserting that the claims are Aaron's choses in action, thus her assets, upon which he is allowed to execute.
