Robin Sammer Behn, Esquire and Torri Yeargins, Esquire of MOODK’s New Jersey office obtained summary judgment on behalf of their client in a premises liability case stemming from alleged injuries sustained by Plaintiff due to a defective sidewalk. MOODK’s attorneys were able to show that their client was the owner of a residential property adjacent to the sidewalk, which Plaintiff did not have evidence to dispute. MOODK’s attorneys argued that under New Jersey law their client did not have a duty maintain the adjacent sidewalk and thus the client could not be held liable. They further argued that Plaintiff had failed to produce an expert report showing that the sidewalk was defective. The Superior Court agreed and granted summary judgment in favor of MOODK’s client resulting in a complete dismissal of Plaintiff’s claims against him.
