Springtree Properties, Inc. v. Hammond

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the district court's reversal of summary judgment, holding that the issue of foreseeability as it relates to proximate cause must be decided by a jury. The Court found sufficient evidence that Springtree and Hardee's breached a duty and that breach was the proximate cause of Hammond's injuries, and it disapproved the per se rule of unforeseeability articulated in Molinares.
