Glenn Smith of our Mobile (AL) office and Rachel Thomas and Will Hahn of our Pensacola (FL) office successfully obtained a summary judgment in the Circuit Court of Baldwin County (AL). The case involved a trip-and-fall at a local condominium parking garage. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant was responsible for the dangerous condition, even though the condominium had been transferred to a different entity before the incident. Our team successfully argued that, under Alabama premises-liability law, a defendant must own or control the property at the time of the alleged hazard in order to owe a duty. The court agreed and granted summary judgment in our client’s favor.
