BWB&O’s Woodland Hills Partner Eileen Gaisford recently received an order granting a Motion for Summary Judgment in a dog bite case involving a suit against the landlord and tenant. BWB&O represented the landlord, whose tenant’s dog escaped and bit Plaintiff, who was walking in front of the property. Plaintiff alleged that the landlord had knowledge of the tenant’s dog’s dangerous propensities. However, the Court agreed with the landlord’s argument that there was no evidence that the tenant’s dog had any prior dangerous propensities, and therefore, the landlord had no notice of any dangerous condition.
Congratulations to Eileen Gaisford for all your hard work and success!
