Summary Judgment Slip-And-Fall Claim Against Janitorial Service

Robert Tacher obtained Summary Judgment in a case where the Plaintiff was claiming significant injuries with medical bills in excess of $200,000 as a result of a fall on a liquid substance in the building in which Defendant was providing janitorial services.
 
Although Defendant was on the property at the time of the incident, and was responsible for building maintenance, Robert was successful in getting the building owner to admit in deposition that Plaintiff was responsible for a multitude of duties in the building and was not expected to patrol the building looking for spills. Robert was also able to establish that Defendant had no knowledge of the spill prior to the fall.
 
Based upon this testimony, Robert obtained Summary Judgment for Defendant on this significant case.
