Win for the Defense!

Hugh Harris recently secured a win in the District Court of Montgomery County, Alabama, on behalf of a hotel client sued in a slip and fall action.  Hugh filed a motion for summary judgment, arguing that the Plaintiff’s claims were time-barred under the applicable statute of limitations found in Alabama Code § 6-2-38. He argued that the date of injury in the Complaint was incorrect based on documentation and testimony obtained from the defendant. After the Court entered a hearing date for the summary judgment motion, the Plaintiff ultimately agreed to dismiss the claims with prejudice without any contribution from the defendant.
