Miami, Florida, partners Russell M. Pfeifer and Raul J. Chacon and associate Monika Ledlova secured final summary judgment in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court on behalf of a national retail client in a premises liability action. The plaintiff alleged she suffered injuries including a traumatic brain injury when a 25-pound metal price sign fell from the top of a large metal safe inside the store. Monika Ledlova argued the motion, successfully demonstrating that surveillance video clearly showed the plaintiff shaking the metal safe immediately before causing the sign to fall off and strike her in her head, thereby causing her own injuries. The team argued that the metal sign was open and obvious, and that no dangerous or concealed condition existed on the premises. The court agreed, granting summary judgment in favor of our client and finding no breach of duty under Florida law. This decisive win underscores the team’s strategic use of video evidence and persuasive advocacy in defeating unsupported premises liability claims. The victory also positions our client to recover attorneys’ fees and taxable costs under applicable Florida statutes, further solidifying a complete defense outcome.
