Representative Matters
Obtained summary judgment for a commercial lessor in a premises liability case in which the plaintiff claimed to have suffered lifelong debilitating injuries when a hammer allegedly fell from the roof of the commercial premises onto his neck. Through discovery, Wilson Elser obtained testimony from witnesses that established the plaintiff’s entire “flying hammer” injury was bogus.
