Summary Judgment: Brevard County, Florida (Premises Liability)
Orlando partner, Patrick Mixson, and associate, Bianca Perito, recently obtained summary judgment on behalf of Publix Super Markets in a case filed in Brevard County, Florida.
Plaintiff in this case claimed that she slipped and fell on spilled water and alleged that she required two years’ worth of past medical expenses, along with necessary future medical care involving multiple surgeries per the opinion of a life care planner. Store camera video from the date of the incident showed that several employees walked past the area where the plaintiff fell prior to the incident. However, the Court concluded that there was no evidence that the substance was on the floor for a sufficient amount of time to place Publix on notice of its presence.
Congratulations, Patrick and Bianca, on this great work.
