Significant Representative Matters: Obtained a defense verdict for a landlord in a premises liability case involving claims of negligence and recklessness related to the maintenance of an exterior two-story stairway railing, which the tenant alleged splintered and caused a carpal tunnel injury.; Secured a defense verdict for a driver sued by a pedestrian who alleged he fell after observing the defendant's vehicle approach and stop at the curb following a collision with a mail truck that had failed to stop at a stop sign. The plaintiff, who had undergone a third cervical fusion surgery just one month prior, claimed the incident necessitated three additional fusion surgeries.; Summary judgment in favor of a driver and the owner of the motor vehicle after a pedestrian ran out into a dark intersection. The defendant driver had the green light and no reason to anticipate that a pedestrian would cross four lanes of traffic and walk into his vehicle. The Plaintiff did not present any evidence to contradict the defendant driver's affidavit.; Summary judgment upheld the granting of summary judgment on appeal where the Plaintiff failed to file the complaint within the statute of limitations after filing a pre-judgment remedy action for the serious injuries sustained by the Plaintiff driver for the motor vehicle accident.
