Lowry & Lee Secure Summary Judgment in Key West

Michael Lowry (Partner-Las Vegas) and Christopher Lee (Associate-Miami) obtained summary judgment from the Circuit Court, Monroe County, FL, in a personal injury claim against Wilson Elser's client, an integrated facilities maintenance provider. The plaintiff, an employee of our client, was injured while working at the direction of the resort. The plaintiff received workers' compensation benefits but proceeded to sue our client and the resort. Regarding our client's liability, the plaintiff argued that an intentional tort exception applied to worker's compensation immunity in this case. The district court disagreed, concluding that the evidence presented by the plaintiff failed to demonstrate an intentional tort. The plaintiff later agreed to dismiss the case in lieu of an appeal after four years of litigation.
