Summary Judgment Granted Where Plaintiff Could not Prove Negligence or Causation in Spider-Bite Case

Lillian R. Sharpe and Michael Balducci, of our West Palm Beach office, won a summary judgment motion in a federal case involving a pretty savvy pro se plaintiff who claims to have been bitten by spiders at our client’s outdoor restaurant in Fort Pierce. Plaintiff had extensive injuries, but she did not report the bites at the restaurant as the swelling/infections reportedly started within the next day or two, and she delayed seeking treatment as she was on vacation. Lillian and Michael argued that Plaintiff could not prove negligence, let alone proximate cause, and the Court granted their motion for summary judgment.
