Michael Lowry (Partner-Las Vegas, NV) was retained to represent a shuttle van driver four years after a complaint was filed, after discovery closed and just months before trial. The plaintiff alleged she was injured because another passenger bumped into her while she was attempting to de-board, resulting in shoulder injuries. The driver's employment status was disputed, with two different defendants disputing whether he was their employee. Michael was able to work with the defendants at trial to present a united argument that, regardless of who he worked for, the driver was not negligent. The joint arguments were successful, resulting in a defense verdict in the Eighth Judicial District Court, Las Vegas.
