Diana M. Hendry (Of Counsel-Madison, NJ) and John P. O'Toole (Partner-Madison, NJ) secured a favorable settlement on behalf of their property owner client in a potentially high-exposure wrongful death action. The client purchased the facility with known roof problems and intended to complete full repairs. However, during the repair process, the plaintiff, an employee of the demolition subcontractor, fell through the decrepit roof to a gruesome death. The decedent’s widow sued the sub-contractor employer, the roofing contractor, the building tenant, and our client. The allegations against the client included failure to disclose the roof's condition accurately and knowingly retaining an inferior contractor to conduct the necessary repairs. Despite facing an aggressive plaintiffs’ firm representing the decedent and his widow, John and Diana conducted early depositions of the parties' representatives, and, before incurring significant expert costs, the client contributed only minimally to the overall settlement. Among the factors that forced the settlement was the deep dive review and discovery of the plaintiff widow’s social media posts, which recounted a troubled relationship with the decedent, undermining the loss-of-services damages alleged in the plaintiff's claim.
