Estate of Reid v. Swats

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Jul 3, 1996
686 So. 2d 19 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1996)

Opinion

No. 95-03125.

July 3, 1996.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Lee County; Lynn Gerald, Jr., Judge.

Robert V. Greene of Lusk, Drasites Tolisano, P.A., Cape Coral, for Appellant.

Charles W. Hall and Jefferson P. Winkler of Fowler, White, Gillen, Boggs, Villareal and Banker, P.A., St. Petersburg, for Appellees.


Steven James Reid was killed in 1992 during an armed robbery at the convenience store where he was working. We affirm the dismissal with prejudice of the estate's amended complaint for wrongful death against the decedent's managerial co-employees because the allegations in the complaint do not rise to the level of negligence necessary to overcome the immunity from suit provided by section 440.11 (1), Florida Statutes (1991). See Eller v. Shova, 630 So.2d 537 (Fla. 1993); Ross v. Baker, 632 So.2d 224 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994); Folk v. Rite Aid of Florida, Inc., 611 So.2d 35 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992).

BLUE, A.C.J., and FULMER and WHATLEY, JJ., concur.
