Insurance Coverage / Bad Faith Team Obtains Dismissal in Premises Liability Suit

Our Insurance Coverage / Bad Faith team recently obtained summary judgment and the full dismissal of a negligence claim against our client, the owner and out-of-possession landlord of the commercial property where the accident was alleged to have occurred. In the course of his job duties, one of the plaintiffs allegedly sustained severe injuries to his shoulder after he attempted to maneuver over pallets blocking a walkway and the pallets shifted, leading him to trip and fall. His injuries required surgical intervention. Plaintiffs thereby sued our client, who was represented by New York office Managing Partner Jeanette L. Dixon, Partner Jamie N. Burke, and Associate Preston S. Scherr.
