Congratulations to Sean Martin and Brittany Lezu of our Chattanooga (TN) office on securing a complete defense victory.
The plaintiff alleged she was injured after slipping in a mall common area after leaving a department store. She filed suit against multiple defendants, including the mall owner, property manager, cleaning contractor and the department store. As the litigation progressed, the other defendants settled and were dismissed, leaving the department store as the sole remaining defendant facing a scheduled jury trial.
Following oral argument, Sean successfully demonstrated that his client bore no liability for the incident. The court granted summary judgment in favor of the defense, dismissing all claims with prejudice and taxing court costs to the plaintiff.
This ruling brought the litigation to a successful conclusion before trial and delivered a complete victory for the client.
Great job, Sean and Brittany!
