Summary
A Florida state court jury has returned a defense verdict in a lawsuit filed by a woman claiming she suffered a serious foot injury after tripping outside the parking garage at a vacation resort.
The Okaloosa County jury reached their verdict on June 26 shortly after hearing closing arguments in the three-day trial. Attorneys for plaintiff Emily Webre sought between $13.75 million and $17.87 million for foot injuries they say were caused by an unmarked cement step that violated the local building code, but the defense successfully argued Webre's flip-flop shoes and alleged intoxication caused the accident, along with maintaining the step didn't create a dangerous condition.
