Joshua Cash

Larry Lum (Partner-New York, NY) Joshua Cash (Partner-New York, NY) and Benjamin Greenfield (Of Counsel-White Plains, NY) obtained a jury defense verdict in a serious injury case for the firm’s New York City casino client. The plaintiff was injured when she slipped and fell while taking a shortcut through an island at the main entrance of the casino, which had not been shoveled, salted or remediated despite eight inches of snow having fallen more than 48 hours before the accident. The plaintiff asserted she walked to the casino entrance from the parking lot, through six lanes of moving traffic. The plaintiff claimed she never saw the shoveled designated path or signs directing foot traffic to the path. The jury took 20 minutes to unanimously find the snow-covered island was not an unsafe condition. The settlement demand prior to the verdict was $2 million.
