Court Reverses $473,000 Award
The District Court of Appeals reversed the largest Florida jury award in a contested damage suit. Lawrence Keegan, 18, paralyzed from the neck after diving into shallow water at Miami Beach, had claimed negligence by the Biltmore Terrace Hotel for not warning guests water was shallow. The appellate ruling questions warnings under such circumstances and notes broader concerns about driving stress and health indicators in traffic.
