GMR Associate Vito DiGiovanni achieved a significant victory in Nassau, New York, obtaining summary judgment on behalf of homeowner defendants. Plaintiff alleged she tripped and fell on a sidewalk defect in front of the defendants’ home and suffered multiple injuries, which required surgeries.
Vito successfully argued that the Defendants were not liable since they did not create the defect, did not make special use of the defect, and did not have liability imposed upon them by any statute. The Plaintiff’s complaint was then dismissed.
This decision underscores GMR’s strength in defending premise liability claims and protecting property owners from improper liability.
