Michael Lowry (Partner-Las Vegas, NV) and Jonathan Pattillo (Associate-Las Vegas, NV) obtained summary judgment in the U.S. District Court, District of Nevada for a national discount retailer. The plaintiff alleged she was injured after slipping and falling on a spill in one of our retailer client’s Las Vegas stores. However, Michael and Jonathan obtained video that documented the spill was created just seven minutes before the fall. While the parties disputed whether Nevada law considers the length of time a spill existed as an element of notice, the court concluded even if that was considered, summary judgment was appropriate given the factual circumstances of the spill's creation.
