Affirmance of Summary Judgment in Slip and Fall Case

Caryn Bellus, of the Miami office, prevailed in obtaining an affirmance of a defense Motion for Summary Judgment in a slip-and-fall case. Plaintiff, who fell in a parking lot, claimed that the parking stripes were a dangerous condition because the paint used by our Client, the contractor who painted the lines, allegedly lacked an additive, the absence of which Plaintiff claimed made the parking lot lines unreasonably slippery and dangerous. At the trial level, Angela C. Agostino and Stefanie Capps, of the Ft. Myers office, obtained a defense Motion for Summary Judgment. Caryn defended the case at the appellate level, where we again prevailed in upholding the defense Summary Judgment, arguing that, as a matter of law, Plaintiff could not prevail on her claim that the stripes were a dangerous condition.
