HM&B Secures Affirmation of Trial Court’s Granting of Summary Judgment on Behalf of our Clients

HM&B received a Per Curiam affirmation of the Trial Court’s granting of Summary Judgment on behalf of our Clients. Stemming from a broken golf club that caused significant bodily injury to the Plaintiff, the golf course who owned the subject golf club and had rented same to the Plaintiff was the original party Defendant. The golf course eventually filed a third party complaint against HM&B’s clients, who manufactured the shaft of the subject 9-iron club, as well as the company who purchased the shaft to use in assembling the subject club. After all experts testified that the cause of the broken club was not due to a design and/or manufacture defect, a motion for summary judgment was filed and granted by the Trial Court. The defendant golf course appealed primarily citing the case of Cassisi v. Maytag, 396 So.2d 1140 (Fla. 1st DCA 1981); however, the Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed the granting of Summary Judgment, Per Curiam. Paul Totten and Michael Dono were the lawyers from HM&B who successfully obtained the summary judgment ruling and defended the appeal.
