Lee Washburn (Partner-Atlanta, GA) and Alex Resnak (Associate-Atlanta, GA) obtained summary judgment in a personal injury case against our client, an international operator of governmental transit systems, in the State Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia. The plaintiff fell while riding on a transit authority bus system. Despite the heightened duty owed to the plaintiff by a common carrier, Lee and Alex obtained summary judgment in the client's favor by demonstrating the plaintiff's fall was the result of her own assumption of the risk and failure to take reasonable precautions for her own safety by standing on the bus without holding on to any of the available handholds.
