Freeman and Costello Secure Dismissal with Prejudice in Premises Liability Matter

Nicholas Freeman (Partner-Orlando, FL) and Alexis Costello (Associate-Orlando, FL) successfully defended a Florida property owner against premises liability allegations arising from a trip-and-fall on a city-owned crosswalk. Plaintiff alleged that our client was responsible for the accident because its building had a sign that directs pedestrians through its building and toward a popular shopping and dining district where the crosswalk is located.

Nick and Alexis moved to dismiss the case by arguing that signage directing pedestrians to a public walkway does not transform a property owner into the guarantor of safety for incidents that occur a city-maintained public right-of-way. The court agreed and dismissed the claim with prejudice as a matter of law.
