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 the firm’s client, a commercial cleaning services company, in a trip-and-fall case in the New York State Supreme Court, Nassau County. The plaintiff, a 64-year-old woman, alleged she fell in the lower level of a garage located in Garden City, New York, and claimed facial fractures and spinal injuries. She claimed our client was negligent in allowing the ground floor to remain in an unsafe and “improperly sloped” condition. 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 garage. The action is continuing against the property owner. This is the second dismissal that Jackie and Tyler have secured on behalf of this firm client within the past three months.
