Sears Authorized Termite & Pest Control, Inc. v. Shelley J. Sullivan

no. 01-960

Palm Beach County


Sullivan and Sears signed a pest control agreement in 1995 that included coverage for spiders. Later Sullivan was bitten by brown recluse spiders on her property and sued Sears as a result. The trial court ordered the parties into arbitration under a clause in the agreement, but the Fourth District Court reversed.
