The Plaintiff attempted to make a lift with a crane when the crane then tipped over and fell off a bridge and into the water of Tampa Bay. The Plaintiff’s right leg was crushed between the crane and a bridge guardrail before the Plaintiff fell into the water. The Plaintiff’s right leg was later amputated just below the knee. The Defendant denied that it even owned the crane. Mr. Jowanna argued that the Defendant was negligent because it provided the crane, in a defective condition, regardless of ownership.
