HM&B Secures Summary Judgment Win for Large Retailer

John Doe v. Big Box Store IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE 13th JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN AND FOR HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FLORIDA

Plaintiff alleges that he tripped and fell over the black base of a caution cone at the entrance of the retailer’s store. He contends that although the retailer had blocked off the area with a large caution cone featuring a black base and yellow warning flags, this did not provide adequate notice/warning because the base blended into the black concrete. Plaintiff asserts that by using a caution cone with a black base, the retailer created the hazardous condition. He claimed significant permanent injuries as a result. The entire incident was captured on video. The Motion was handled by Schuyler Smith and Shaunda Hill.
