Cristobal A. Casal, partner in the firm's Fort Myers office, obtained a defense verdict on behalf of a trucking company and its driver in a trucking personal injury case after a three day jury trial in Tampa.  Plaintiff was a warehouse employee at BJs Wholesale Club who suffered significant bodily injuries when the Defendants’ tractor-trailer pulled away from the loading dock while it was being unloaded.  Defendants argued that the Plaintiff violated his own employer’s loading dock policies and procedures when he began unloading the trailer without properly restraining it. The jury deliberated for less than an hour before returning with their verdict.
