Attorneys Manuel Alvarez, Matthew Holtsinger, and David Hoffman recently won a case with a Motion for Summary Judgment, saving our client the expense and uncertainty of trial. The case involved a slip and fall on a transitory foreign substance at the Defendant’s barbecue restaurant. Plaintiff was alleging to have suffered permanent injuries from this alleged accident. She was claiming over $500,000 in past medical bills and over $800,000 in future medical bills plus non-economic damages. Prior to trial, Defendant filed motion for summary judgment, arguing that the Plaintiff had failed to prove actual or constructive notice of the transitory foreign substance prior to Plaintiff’s fall.

The Judge agreed and granted judgment in favor of the Defendant.
