Summary Judgment: Volusia County, Florida (Premises Liability)
Orlando Partner, Patrick Mixson, recently obtained a summary judgment in a premises liability case on behalf of Publix Super Markets in a case filed in Volusia County, Florida.
The Plaintiff claimed that he slipped and fell on a piece of banana on the floor at the Publix store in question and sustained injuries to his neck, back, and left shoulder. He underwent injections and physical therapy he related to the incident and received recommendations for future medical care. However, the Court agreed with our argument that there was no evidence that Publix negligently maintained the floor or that Publix was on notice of the banana before the incident and entered summary judgment in Publix’s favor.
Congratulations Patrick on this great outcome.
