Description
We have for review Martinez v. Florida Power & Light Co., 785 So. 2d 1251 (Fla. 3d DCA 2001) (hereinafter ""Martinez""), which expressly and directly conflicts with Clay Electric Cooperative, Inc. v. Johnson, Nos. SC01-1955 & SC01-1956 (Fla. Dec. 18, 2003) (hereinafter ""Clay Electric""). We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const. The pertinent facts as alleged in the complaint are as follows. On November 4, 1996, a child named Albert Martinez was crossing a two-lane road during the early evening darkness when he was struck and killed by a sports utility vehicle in an area where a streetlight was inoperative. The force of the impact threw the child's body approximately one hundred feet from the site of the collision. Albert's parents, acting as personal representatives of his estate, filed a negligence claim against, inter alia, the streetlight maintenance company, Florida Power and Light Company. (""FP&L"").
