Jury Returns A Defense Verdict in Favor of Marks Gray's Client

Marks Gray, P.A. obtained a defense verdict while defending a Northeast Florida restaurant. This was a food poisoning case in which plaintiff, a 21 year old man with a prior kidney transplant, alleged that he had severe gastrointestinal illness approximately three hours after eating contaminated food.  Plaintiff alleged that as a result of food poisoning, he was unable to retain his kidney anti-rejection medication and suffered loss of his transplanted kidney.  Marks Gray attorneys, Gerald “Jerry” W. Weedon and Michael B. Bittner, defended the case on the grounds there was no evidence the food was contaminated, no evidence plaintiff in fact suffered from food poisoning, and no evidence of any causal relationship between the alleged negligence and plaintiff’s kidney loss.  Following a five day trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Marks Gray’s client.
