Representative Cases & TransactionsCasesSignificant Representative Matters
Defense verdict where plaintiff was ejected from a scissor lift on a construction sight due to the alleged gross negligence of our client. The plaintiff made a dem
of $2 million. The plaintiff was challenging Florida's recently enacted Horizontal Immunity law, which provides for immunity to a sub-contractor for claims made by an employee of another subcontractor on a construction site. This was reportedly the first case in Florida tried to verdict under this new law.
Dismissal of claims brought by a defendant/third party plaintiff for subrogation, common law indemnification,
contractual indemnification against the plaintiff's employer for alleged negligent hiring, training,
supervision of the plaintiff
another employee when they were hooking a tractor to a trailer. As the truck was backing up, the truck engine surged backward, pinning the plaintiff's leg
causing him to lose most of his leg.
Dismissal with prejudice of an automobile negligence injury claim brought by a husb
wife against a nationally recognized rental car company where the renter of the car caused the accident which injured the plaintiff. The court dismissed the vicarious liability portion of the case against the rental car company based upon the Graves Amendment, which limits the amount of certain claims
precludes others from being brought against rental car companies.
Obtained a ruling limiting the plaintiff's damages in a catastrophic injury case where the plaintiff was a passenger in a single vehicle accident. The driver was a non-authorized driver of the rental vehicle. The case
damages against a nationally recognized rental car company were limited to the $10,000 provided for under the Graves Amendment.
