Talisman and Weintraub Secure Final Summary Judgment in Wrongful Death Case

Amy Talisman (Of Counsel-Miami) and Erica Weintraub (Associate-Miami) prevailed on a motion for final summary judgment in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida, Miami-Dade County, on behalf of a security services company client. The matter involved a wrongful death action arising from the fatal shooting of a woman in December 2017. The fatal shots were fired from the parking lot of a Miami-Dade County-owned regional library, where our client provided security services. The shooting occurred about two hours after the library closed, and the client’s personnel had left for the evening. The plaintiff alleged that the security company’s contract required it to make security recommendations and that it failed to do so. Amy and Erica succeeded on their motion for final summary judgment by establishing that the plaintiff was unable to prove that Wilson Elser’s client owed a duty to the decedent under the circumstances of the case, thus defeating a $6 million final demand against the security company.
