Bjorlin and Garrity Obtain Summary Judgment Defeating Wrongful Death Claim
Roy Bjorlin (Of Counsel-Boston) and Michael Garrity (Associate-Boston) prevailed on a motion for summary judgment in Suffolk Superior Court, Boston, Massachusetts, for Wilson Elser's client, a residential property management company. The case involves a wrongful death action brought by the estate of the decedent, who was a tenant at a property owned and managed by the firm's client. The tenant died in the hospital ten days after suffering smoke inhalation and burn injuries following a stove fire in his apartment. The estate alleged that the client failed to provide adequate smoke detection, alarms and fire suppression equipment. Roy and Mike filed a motion for summary judgment, which the court granted based on insufficient evidence of negligence on the client's part and the inability of the plaintiff's estate to meet its burden of proof at trial.
