Micah Andrews and Stuart Poage, of the Tallahassee office, received an Order Granting Final Summary Judgment on behalf of a plumbing company in a wrongful death case that occurred during construction of an academic building. Plaintiff sued our client, the employer of the deceased, who was crushed by a buck hoist while sitting in an unfinished window during a lunch break.

Summary Judgment was granted based on workers compensation immunity grounds. Plaintiff’s counsel alleged our client’s actions rose to the level of an intentional tort and that our client concealed or misrepresented the danger present by the buck hoist. Through Micah’s skilled drafting of the motion and Stuart’s deft oral arguments, the Judge was convinced and granted Summary Judgment.
