Miami Associate Manuel Rodriguez has secured his first Motion for Summary Judgment (MSJ) in Broward County. This case revolved around a heavily contested premises liability claim, where the Plaintiff alleged substantial damages, including over $150,000 in past medical bills and indeterminate future economic losses, stemming from a slip-and-fall incident involving an orange peel.
Mr. Rodriguez built a compelling argument, asserting that no reasonable jury could conclude the orange peel had been on the ground long enough for store employees to notice and take action. His defense relied heavily on the Plaintiff’s deposition and strategically leveraged the Plaintiff’s responses to Requests for Admission (RFAs), which bolstered his case significantly.
