Gambacurta Obtains Summary Judgment

Carr Allison shareholder Virginia “Ginny” Gambacurta, obtained summary judgment in Lee County Circuit Court (AL) on behalf of a national restaurant client.  The plaintiff in the case alleged she slipped and fell when she stepped in an unknown slippery substance on the floor of the restaurant.   The defense argued that the plaintiff failed to present sufficient evidence of any hazardous condition and, even if a hazardous condition was present at the time of the plaintiff’s fall, the restaurant did not create the alleged hazardous condition nor did the restaurant have notice of the alleged hazardous condition prior to the plaintiff’s fall.  Following submission of the briefs and oral argument, summary judgment was granted in favor of the restaurant.
