Defending Valet
Apr 15, 0209OUTCOME: Defense Verdict
The claimant alleged that a valet employed by Mr. Jowanna’s client, the Defendant, was running through a parking garage when the valet struck the claimant on her left side. The claimant contended that ... the incident was entirely the fault of Mr. Jowanna’s client. On behalf of the Defendant, Mr. Jowanna argued that the incident was the claimant’s own fault for stepping in front of the running valet and that such a minor impact, which did not even knock-down the claimant, was not the cause of the her claimed injury of cubital tunnel syndrome of the left elbow requiring surgery. After the jury deliberated for only an hour and a half, Mr. Jowanna was successful in obtaining a complete defense verdict for his client.
