Case Background

Gregory McKnight and Maureen Brown filed a lawsuit in Broward County, Florida, against Adventure Center LLC and U-Haul Co. of Florida. The Plaintiffs, both county residents, claimed the Defendants’ actions caused them serious harm. They sought over $50,000 in damages and requested a jury trial.

What Led to the Dispute

The case stemmed from the Defendants’ alleged negligence involving a large moving truck. U-Haul released the vehicle without valid payment or a signed rental agreement. Adventure Center knowingly allowed multiple unqualified individuals to operate the truck. The Plaintiffs argued this mismanagement directly caused their injuries. They also challenged U-Haul’s attempt to claim immunity under the Graves Amendment, stating the transaction did not meet the definition of a valid rental.

Injuries Reported

McKnight and Brown suffered physical injuries, emotional trauma, and disruption to their daily lives. Both required medical care and missed work. Some injuries were described as permanent, with lasting impacts on their health and livelihood.

Compensation Sought

The Plaintiffs requested damages for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and litigation costs. They asked the court to hold the Defendants fully accountable and allow a jury to decide the outcome.
