HM&B Obtains Summary Judgment for a Home Improvement Big Box Retailer

Plaintiff alleged that she was injured when some metal rods that she claimed were leaning behind a display unit fell and hit her on the head. Ms. Williams claims that Lowe’s failed to maintain the store in a reasonably safe condition because it failed to discover and move the metal rods before her incident occurred. The court granted summary judgment in favor of Lowe’s, finding that Lowe’s did not have actual or constructive notice of the existence of the metal rods and that the condition was not the result of any negligent mode of operation by Lowe’s. Bradley Silverman and Kishel Stubbs were the trial lawyers from HM&B who secured the summary judgment.
