Moise and Wright Win Summary Judgment for Bowling Center Clients in Florida Premises Liability Case

Krystal Yearwood Moise (Partner-Orlando) and Ashley Wright (Associate-Orlando) secured a complete summary judgment in Sarasota County Court, Sarasota, FL, on behalf of Wilson Elser’s bowling company clients in a premises liability action arising from a reported trip and fall at a Sarasota County bowling center. The plaintiff claimed a dangerous condition at the facility’s entrance caused the fall and resulting injuries, which required surgical intervention. Following discovery, Krystal and Ashley filed a motion for summary judgment, asserting that the record was devoid of any evidence demonstrating the existence of a hazardous condition at the time of the incident or establishing that our clients had actual or constructive notice of any such alleged condition. The court granted the Wilson Elser team’s motion for summary judgment in its entirety, finding no evidence of a hazardous condition at the time of the fall, and directed entry of final judgment in the clients’ favor, with taxable costs to be determined.
