Kelsi Wade Piatkowski (Of Counsel-Houston, TX) and Servando Rivas (Associate-Houston, TX) prevailed on a motion for summary judgment that tossed the plaintiff’s claims against our commercial property landlord client. The plaintiff asserted negligence and premises liability claims and contended that the client’s failure to correct a defect on the property entitled him to more than $1 million in damages for significant injuries arising from an incident on the premises. On behalf of the client, Kelsi and Servando argued that it had no control over the subject property pursuant to several provisions contained in a commercial lease agreement with a tenant. The Brazoria County District Court agreed and granted the motion for summary judgment in its entirety, dismissing the plaintiff’s claims and ordering that he take nothing from our client.
