Ray v. American Const. Equipment Co.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Dec 18, 1990
570 So. 2d 375 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1990)

Opinion

No. 89-2689.

November 13, 1990. Rehearing Denied December 18, 1990.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County; Charles Mitchell, Jr., Judge.

Tommy C. Meers, Sr., Jacksonville, for appellant.

Herbert T. Sussman of Boyer, Tanzler Boyer, Jacksonville, for appellees American Const. Equipment Co., Inc., Scaffold Jax, Inc. and Norman T. Pionessa.

Ronald R. Oberdier of Humphries, Kellogg, Oberdier, Jacksonville, for appellee Sears, Roebuck and Co.


Appellant's decedent filed a complaint alleging that he had suffered injuries as a result of negligence by the appellees. The appellee's motions to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a cause of action were granted, and the complaint was dismissed with prejudice. The trial court's order did not set forth any deficiency in the complaint upon which the trial court relied in entering its order.

Upon review of the complaint, we find that each essential allegation for stating a cause of action on a theory of negligence has been sufficiently set forth in the complaint. Accordingly, we reverse the order dismissing the complaint with prejudice, and we remand this cause to the trial court for further proceedings in accordance with this opinion.

ZEHMER, MINER and ALLEN, JJ., concur.
