Nigel Greene (Of Counsel-Philadelphia) and Angela Heim (Of Counsel-Philadelphia) prevailed in the Superior Court of Pennsylvania on the plaintiff's appeal of the dismissal of Wilson Elser’s client, a Philadelphia bus tour company, based on a motion for judgment on the pleadings. The plaintiff alleged that our client allowed her to exit a tour vehicle at a location where a depressed roadway grate created a tripping hazard. At the trial court level, Nigel successfully argued that the company had no legal responsibility for the condition of the roadway and owed no duty to the plaintiff regarding that condition.  The court concurred, granting Nigel’s motion for judgment on the pleadings and denying the plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration. On appeal, Angela wrote the client’s brief, and the Superior Court affirmed the trial court's decision, holding that the complaint failed to allege a legally cognizable breach of duty –even if all allegations were taken as true.
