Montes v. Mastec North America, Inc.
District Court of Appeal of Florida
Decided February 12, 2014No. 3D12-2622PublishedCited by 4 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtSalter, J.
Fernando Montes and his wife appeal a final summary judgment against them in favor of Mastec North America, Inc. The circuit court lawsuit arose from personal injuries sustained by Mr. Montes, a condominium security guard, in 2008 when a ladder owned or used by Mastec allegedly fell on him, with resulting medical expenses exceeding $100,000. The final summary judgment was based on Mr. Montes’ failure to disclose his potential (then unfilled) lawsuit against Mastec in the “contingent and unliquidated claims” section of his Chapter 13 personal bankruptcy in 2010. We reverse.
