TALLENT V. PILOT TRAVEL CENTER
$68,500 verdict – Oct. 2014. Two arthroscopic surgeries: shoulder tear plus aggravation of knee arthritis.
Facts: Diesel spill near pumps of a Flying J truck stop near Tampa. Prior trucker had overfilled his truck with diesel fuel, causing a spill 15-20 minutes before. Apparently the court felt this was enough for actual or constructive notice required under 768.0755. But plaintiff knew about the spill, had walked through the area several times, and the defendant had placed barrels to barricade the area. Defendant also reported that it takes 30-60 minutes to clean diesel spills using an oil absorbent. Jury found plaintiff 35% responsible, so award was reduced that percent
