HM&B Prevails on a Motion for Summary Judgment Establishing a Lack of Notice on the Retailer’s Behalf

Plaintiff alleged she slipped and fell on liquid near a freezer. HMB was able to prove that the establishment had no constructive knowledge of any dangerous condition on the floor and also that there was no evidence that any such falls by the freezer occurred with any regularity that would have put the establishment on notice of any such condition. The Court agreed and concluded that no reasonable jury could find for the Plaintiff based on the evidence presented, and thus granted full and final summary judgment on behalf of the establishment. See the attached order for more details. The motion was written by HM&B partners Michael J. Dono, William H. Edwards, and associate Marta R. Golani.
