Connor Crouse v. Coke Florida, et al.

After 10 minutes of deliberations, a Polk County jury entered a defense verdict for Coca-Cola Beverages Florida, LLC (“Coke Florida”) and its driver.  Plaintiff claimed an accident caused him injuries, asking the jury to award over $2.2 million in damages.

The trial team of RumbergerKirk partners Rob Blank and Damien Orato, along with associate Aly Buhler and paralegal Susan McClugage convinced the jury the accident was not the legal cause of Plaintiff’s injuries.  Defendants have moved for their attorneys’ fees based on Plaintiff’s rejection of their proposal for settlement.
