GLRR OBTAINS SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN PREMISES LIABILITY ACTION

In a New York County premises liability action, the plaintiff claimed that she suffered severe injuries when she was struck by a falling ceiling in an apartment located in a building owned by Gallardo Levin Reiter & Rogers‘  client. Gallardo Levin Reiter & Rogers moved for summary judgment in favor of its client, and the Court agreed with Gallardo Levin Reiter & Rogers‘ argument that no reasonable fact finder would believe plaintiff’s version of events. In reaching that conclusion, the Court determined as a matter of law that Gallardo Levin Reiter & Rogers‘ demonstration that the accident did not occur as plaintiff alleged was more credible than plaintiff’s own self-serving deposition testimony. The case was handled by Gallardo Levin Reiter & Rogers Associate Renton D. Persaud, along with Partners Domingo Gallardo and June Reiter.
