Miami Partner George Hooker and Orlando Partner Scott Shelton achieved a complete defense verdict in a case involving an alleged a slip and fall incident in our client's kitchen in Palm Beach County. The Plaintiff, who was working at the home, was taken to the hospital by ambulance and diagnosed with a broken femur, undergoing surgery the next day. Her recovery included a month-long stay at a rehab facility and a subsequent second surgery due to a malunion. Despite just under $1 million in closing arguments, the jury returned a complete defense verdict after deliberating for only 23 minutes, including lunch.
Special thanks to Miami Partner Dania Battle for their efforts in preparing this case.
