Partner Daniel Crespo and Associate Soyoun K. McConnell secured summary judgment for their Hotel client in a premises liability action seeking $1 million for injuries allegedly requiring surgery.
Through targeted photographic evidence and expert analysis, Mr. Crespo and Ms. McConnell successfully persuaded the court that the curb at issue was ordinary, plainly visible, and presented no actionable dangerous condition. They convincingly countered the plaintiff’s expert’s contention that yellow warning paint was required.
The result: summary judgment on all claims against their client, without the expense and uncertainty of trial.
