Carey v. Enterprise Plumbing Corp.
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 12, 1990 · Anstead, Stone, Warner
571 So. 2d 80; 1990 Fla. App. LEXIS 9726; 1990 WL 198402 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Carey v. Enterprise Plumbing Corp.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We reverse a judgment, entered on a directed verdict in favor of the defendant plumbing subcontractor, in a personal injury action, and remand for a new trial. Upon a review of the record, we conclude that there was sufficient evidence upon which a jury could decide that the defendant was negligent in covering a floor hole in an unsafe manner with a piece of scrap wood easily removed. E.g., Crislip v. Holland, 401 So.2d 1115 (Fla. 4th DCA), rev. denied, 411 So.2d 380 (1981).

ANSTEAD, STONE and WARNER, JJ., concur.
