Theodore “Tad” Kardis (Of Counsel-St. Louis, MO) and Robert Curtis (Associate-St. Louis, MO) secured summary judgment on all claims against apartment complex owners arising out of a slip and fall involving a tenant in a common area of the complex. The plaintiff alleged he fell on snow and ice in an indoor stairwell where a door to the outside was cracked open, and snow and ice were allowed to accumulate inside the stairwell. The plaintiff also claimed he notified the property manager of the alleged situation. Tad and Robert hired a forensic meteorologist to discuss the weather conditions at the apartment complex on the day of the alleged slip and fall. The forensic meteorologist demonstrated there was no such accumulation that could have led to the conditions plaintiff described. Further, Tad and Robert presented recordings demonstrating the plaintiff did not notify the property manager of the alleged accumulation. They successfully leveraged the plaintiff's multiple inconsistent statements regarding being both inside and outside during the fall as well. Finally, Tad and Robert argued plaintiff's failure to designate medical experts on his injuries allegedly requiring surgery meant the plaintiff could not prove medical causation of his injuries from the fall because of preexisting conditions. The Jackson County, Missouri, Circuit Court held plaintiff could not establish his claims as a matter of law. As a result, the court granted summary judgment on all counts which brought a successful resolution to the matter after several years of litigation and multiple lawsuits.
