WALT DISNEY WORLD CO. V. WOOD
515 So.2d 198 (1987)
NATURE OF THE CASE: The court of appeals certified a question to the Supreme Court of
Florida.
FACTS: Wood (P) was injured in November 1971 at the grand prix attraction at Walt Disney
World (D). Her fianc, Daniel Wood, rammed from the rear the vehicle which she was driving.
P sued D and D sought contribution from Daniel. After trial, the jury returned a verdict
finding P 14% at fault, Daniel 85% at fault, and D 1% at fault. The jury assessed damages at
$75,000. The court entered judgment against D for 86% of the damages. D moved to alter the
judgment to reflect the jury's finding that D was only 1% at fault. The court denied the
motion. On appeal, the fourth district affirmed the judgment on the basis of this Court's
decision in Lincenberg v. Issen, 318 So.2d 386 (Fla. 1975).
