Nikki Huffman, counsel in Carr Allison’s Gulfport (MS) office has obtained summary judgment in two premises liability cases. The first case, out of Harrison County, involved a woman who fell while walking at a local shopping center. Nikki argued that slightly uneven sidewalk blocks are not dangerous conditions as a matter of law. The Court agreed and dismissed the case with prejudice. The second matter, out of Wayne County, involved a man who slipped and fell while entering a bank’s covered walkway during a rain event. Nikki argued that there was no accumulation of rain, that the bank had no notice of any alleged accumulation of rain and that a premises owner does not have a duty to remove rainwater as quickly as it falls. The Court agreed and dismissed the case with prejudice.
Great Results!
