Michael Lowry (Partner-Las Vegas, NV) and Jonathan Pattillo (Associate-Las Vegas, NV) obtained a favorable settlement in the Eighth Judicial District Court on behalf of a resort on the Las Vegas strip. The general liability case involved a plaintiff who was on the premises working for a florist at a wedding. A separate vendor installed a chuppah, which collapsed on the plaintiff, who then alleged a mild traumatic brain injury and sought nearly $60,000 in medical bills and loss of income. During discovery Michael and Jonathan obtained post-event emails from the plaintiff's employer that documented the resort had no involvement with the chuppah and that the employer had expressed concerns to the vendor about the chuppah's integrity. After these facts were confirmed via the employers' depositions, the resort moved for summary judgment and the plaintiff accepted a de minimis settlement before the motion could be heard.
