A Las Vegas district court granted summary judgment to a client that rents traffic control devices after the plaintiffs failed to correctly add the client to the case. Michael Lowry (Partner-Las Vegas) and Chris Richardson (Of Counsel-Las Vegas) were hired to defend the client, who rented devices to a festival that were allegedly involved in an accident. The plaintiffs sued numerous other parties who could have been responsible but initially did not sue the client. As discovery commenced, the other parties disclosed documentation expressly identifying the client and its role with the devices at issue. However, the plaintiffs did not try to add the client as a party for months, long after the statute of limitations expired. The only way for the plaintiffs to get around the statute of limitations was if their amended complaint "related back" to the original, timely complaint utilizing one of two alternative methods. The judge granted the motion because the plaintiffs failed to satisfy either option.
