ORANGE CIRCUIT COURT
A jury rejected a woman's claim for damages from a collision in an Orlando parking lot.
Brittany Williams claimed her car was struck by a pickup truck driven by Cedrick Lockett in February 2016. Lockett claimed Williams backed into the side of his truck while backing out of a parking space. A police officer who witnessed the incident corroborated Williams' account, but the jury concluded Lockett was not negligent or liable for the spinal injuries that Williams attributed to the accident.

Plaintiffs attorneys: Jabari A. Bennett, Cohen Law Group, Maitland; Rafael O. Nunez Jr., The Nunez Law Firm, Orlando
Defense attorneys: Justin Bleakley and Scott A. Shelton, Cole, Scott & Kissane, Orlando
