Hanson v. Scharber, 749 So. 2d 563 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000) This case involves proving negligence action against the owner of bull that strayed onto public road. Defendant motioned for summary judgment, however, summary Judgment was precluded in negligence action against owners of bull that strayed onto roadway. This case is relevant because it deals with negligence action against owners of the bull that strayed onto public road. The facts are similar to our client s facts and this case shows that fact question precluded summary judgment. This case is useful because were trying to argue against summary judgment on the basis that there is material issue. I found this case from the case, Fisel v. Wynns, headnote. Using Key Cite function of Westlaw, I clicked on Headnote 1s 6 cases that cite this headnote. Among 6 cases that cite Fisel v. Wynns headnote, I found this case most useful after reading the case. Fisel v. Wynns, 667 So. 2d 761 (Fla. 1996) This is the case with similar scenario as our clients case. Action was brought against livestock owner to recover for injuries sustained by driver after her vehicle struck cow that had strayed onto road through open gate. This case is relevant because of similar facts of the case with our clients case. This case also involves accident with livestock that strayed upon the public road at night. This case uses the same statute, 588.15, Fla. Stat. (2013), in its ruling and also talks about summary judgment. The Florida Supreme Court has held that summary judgment should not be granted unless the facts are so crystallized that nothing remains by questions of law. 28(Animals)k 56 (Injuries by animals at large) Again, using West Key Number System, I went back to 28 Animals and under Animals, subsection 47 Running at large, under subsection 47, I found 53 Injuries by animals at large. There are 4 cases under this subsection. (Time spent:23 minutes) Hughes v. Landers, 215 So. 2d 773 (Fla. 2d DCA 1968) This case involves similar scenario as our clients case. Using Wests Key Number System, 28(Animals)k 47 (Running at large), I found the Selby v. Bullock case. From the case Selby v. Bullock, 287 So. 2d 18 (Fla. 1973), I found 588.15, Fla. Stat. (2013).
