Wicker Smith obtains summary judgment for theme park client

Wicker Smith’s Orlando Partner Patrick Mixson and Associate Isaac Horowitz recently obtained summary judgment on behalf of a popular theme park in the Orlando tourism corridor. The plaintiff alleged that she fell due to a sticky substance on the ground in the queue of an attraction at the theme park and that she suffered a fractured hip as a result. The plaintiff was unable to identify the substance or its source, and she testified in her deposition that she had walked through the exact same area just moments before without incident. Accordingly, the firm moved for summary judgment on the grounds that the theme park could not have had constructive or actual notice of the allegedly dangerous condition prior to the Plaintiff’s fall. The Court agreed and granted final summary judgment in the firm’s client’s favor.
