Washburn and Resnak Obtain Summary Judgment in Common Carrier Injury Case

Lee Washburn (Partner-Atlanta, GA) and Alex Resnak (Associate-Atlanta, GA) obtained summary judgment in a personal injury case against our client, an international operator of governmental transit systems, in the State Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia. The plaintiff fell while riding on a transit authority bus system. Despite the heightened duty owed to the plaintiff by a common carrier, Lee and Alex obtained summary judgment in the client's favor by demonstrating the plaintiff's fall was the result of her own assumption of the risk and failure to take reasonable precautions for her own safety by standing on the bus without holding on to any of the available handholds.

Washburn and Resnak Prevail in Case Already in Default

Lawrence Washburn (Partner-Atlanta, GA) and Alex Resnak (Associate-Atlanta, GA) obtained a complete win on behalf of a local housing authority client within weeks of receiving the case, which the client had unknowingly allowed to go into default. Days after taking the case, Lee and Alex obtained an order opening the default and immediately thereafter filed a motion for summary judgment. The Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, entered summary judgment in the client's favor on all the plaintiff's claims only weeks after Lee and Alex appeared.
