Jacqueline Hattar (Partner-White Plains, NY) and Tyler Martin (Associate-White Plains, NY) obtained a voluntary dismissal in a personal injury action on behalf of a commercial janitorial services company in a trip-and-fall case in the New York State Supreme Court, Nassau County. The plaintiff, a 61-year-old woman, alleged that she fell in the parking lot at a shopping mall due to a defective condition on the ground. Based on the results of the firm’s investigation and the documentary evidence submitted, Jackie and Tyler were able to establish that Wilson Elser’s client did not cause or create any defective condition and was not responsible for the maintenance of the subject premises. As a result of the alleged accident, plaintiff claimed facial fractures and spinal injuries, and that she required future anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. The action is continuing against the property owner.
