James M. Burd (Partner-Louisville, KY) and Samuel Jones (Associate-Louisville, KY) secured summary judgment on behalf of a real estate company in a case in which the plaintiff alleged that after moving into an apartment complex that was still under construction, she became ill with sepsis due to water contamination stemming from poor workmanship and maintenance on the property. The plaintiff moved for summary judgment on her claims of negligence, negligent maintenance, false advertising of rent, fees, and utilities; and unjust enrichment. The plaintiff also filed a motion to disqualify defense counsel for a concurrent conflict of interest. Samuel then moved for summary judgment based on the plaintiff’s failure to present any affirmative evidence to establish the requisite elements of negligence. In an Order addressing the competing motions for summary judgment and the motion to disqualify, the court found that the plaintiff failed to adequately demonstrate a causal connection between her illness and her tenancy at the complex in question. Further, the court found that the plaintiff’s motion to disqualify failed to state an actual conflict and fundamentally misunderstood the nature of the attorney-client relationship. As such, the court denied the plaintiff’s motion for summary and motion to disqualify, while simultaneously granting Jim and Samuel’s motion for summary judgment, and dismissing the case with prejudice.
