Verdicts by Practice Area: Roadway Construction

Stuart Managing Partner Benjamin Pahl, Esq., prevailed on a Motion for Summary Judgment in a motor vehicle accident/roadway construction styled Bailey, Assunta v. Ranger Construction Industries, Inc. Our client, who was contracted to do repair work on a local bridge, was sued for personal injuries after the windshield of Plaintiff’s vehicle was struck by a traffic delineator that came loose from the bridge deck after being hit by a passing vehicle. We moved for summary judgment based on the Slavin doctrine, as well as on the terms of the contract and applicable subcontracts, and further argued that Plaintiff was impermissibly stacking inferences to prove her case as she could not prove constructive or actual notice as to Ranger. The Court found that the Plaintiff had failed to provide any evidence by which a jury could conclude that her injuries were proximately caused by Rangers’ negligence, and granted final summary judgment in our client’s favor.  Read More.
