John Richards and William Peters, Partners in our Fort Lauderdale office, recently obtained a zero liability jury verdict in favor of a nationwide event rental company that was sued by a patron alleging that she slipped and fell in chemicals near a loading dock. While the Plaintiff attempted to shock the jury with gruesome photographs of the chemical burns, Mr. Peters and Mr. Richards established that none of the chemicals at the facility could have caused the plaintiff’s injury. They presented evidence from expert chemists, a plastic surgeon and a toxicologist that established the Plaintiff must have been injured elsewhere before arriving at the Defendant’s property.
