Valeria Granata (Partner-Los Angeles, CA) and Bosheng "Niko" Zhou (Associate-Los Angeles. CA) secured a dismissal in favor of a client nail salon in a premises liability case. The plaintiff, who allegedly fell in a parking lot outside the nail salon, claimed personal injuries. The nail salon did not bear liability for the alleged incident as it did not control the parking lot pursuant to an agreement with the landlord. Valeria and Niko proactively obtained the subject contract and persuaded the plaintiff to dismiss the client from the lawsuit before a response to the complaint was due.
