Practice Area:
Attorney(s) :
Result:
Final Summary Judgment
Summary:

On January 10, 2025, attorneys Jacob Gordon and Daniel Weinger obtained a Final Summary Judgment in a Premises Liability matter styled Plaintiff v. 932 10th St LLC, et al. The case involves claims of negligence against our client, 932 10th St LLC. Specifically, Plaintiff claimed our client’s negligence led to him being bit by a tenant’s dog which caused damages, including medical expenses, loss of earning capacity and income. Mr. Gordon conducted discovery which laid the record that the dog had no history of being aggressive towards humans (and was in fact not an aggressive dog), the Plaintiff had entered our client’s property as a trespasser, and Plaintiff’s intervening negligence when he allowed his dog to be off-leash and then put his hands into the dog fight to separate the dogs was the actual cause of his injuries. Mr. Weinger drafted the Motion for Summary Judgment and Mr. Gordon presented oral argument on January 10, 2025.  The Court agreed with our argument that there was no breach of any duty if Plaintiff was an invitee, there was no breach of any duty if Plaintiff was a trespasser, and the legal cause of Plaintiff’s injuries was Plaintiff’s own negligence. With the granting of summary judgment, our client is now entitled to fees/costs pursuant to a rejected Proposal for Settlement.
