    Profile

    Madison Temple focuses her practice on casualty litigation. She defends against tort claims, including premises liability, auto negligence, catastrophic injury and wrongful death for a wide variety of clients including theme parks, entertainment companies, homebuilders, building material distributors, and manufacturer/distributors.

    During law school, Madison was a Research Assistant for Professor Elizabeth Boals.

    She participated in the RumbergerKirk Summer Associate Program in 2024 where she won “Best Advocate” during the program’s mock trial.

    Details

    A Hillsborough County jury returned a defense verdict in favor of Busch Gardens after a five day trial. Plaintiff alleged she slipped on a metal drain cover on a wet walkway during rain. Plaintiff claimed injuries to her shoulder, elbow, wrist and knee, with four surgeries since the accident and a life care plan seeking future medical expenses for the rest of her life. Plaintiff’s attorney asked the jury to award $4,015,620.95 (past medicals expenses of $16,020.95, future medical expenses of $108,720, past pain and suffering of $386,880 and future pain and suffering of $3,504,000). The jury awarded zero, finding no negligence by Busch Gardens.
