Graham v. Langley

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided December 13, 1996No. 95-3036PublishedCited by 6 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

THOMPSON, Judge.

John Graham appeals from an adverse summary judgment in favor of Steak N’ Shake. Graham alleges that Steak N’ Shake breached its duty to protect him as a business invitee from the negligent act of Ryan Dwyer Langley. Graham argues it was foreseeable that Langley would drive his Chevrolet Blazer through a plate glass window and injure Graham while the latter was a patron inside Steak N’ Shake. Steak N’ Shake argues that as a matter of law, the accident was not foreseeable and that entry of the summary judgment for Steak N’ Shake was proper. We affirm.
