Florida Award Reversed in Major Damages Case
The District Court of Appeals reversed a $473,000 judgment awarded to Lawrence Keegan, an 18 year old paralyzed after a 1958 dive at Miami Beach. Keegan had claimed negligence by the Biltmore Terrace Hotel for not warning guests that the water was shallow behind a four foot sea wall. The court rejected the need for such a warning as impractical and akin to a sign on a building warning not to jump.
