Melonie Bueno and Danielle Capitini, of our West Palm Beach office, obtained summary judgment in favor of the defendant in an auto accident case. The plaintiff’s vehicle stalled on the highway, and the defendant traveling in the lane where the plaintiff’s vehicle was located swerved to miss plaintiff’s vehicle, causing him to strike a tractor trailer carrying heavy equipment.  Upon impact, the heavy equipment rolled off of the trailer and crushed part of the plaintiff’s vehicle.  The plaintiff sustained a severely fractured ankle, underwent multiple surgeries, and subsequently sued the defendant to recover for her injuries. The defendant filed a motion for summary judgment asserting that because what transpired was not reasonably foreseeable, the plaintiff failed to establish negligence on the part of the defendant as a matter of law.  The court agreed, granting summary judgment for the defendant.
