David A. Luther v. Florence Baird, et al.
Jan 13, 2016OUTCOME: Verdict in favor of my clients, the Defendants
This case involved an alleged slip-and-fall on my clients’ property by a meals-on-wheels driver who argued that my clients’ negligently permitted an accumulation of snow or ice that caused the plaintif ... f to fall and sustain injury. We argued that the accumulation of snow and ice was the result of recent heavy snow fall, and that the plaintiff was advised by his employer not to risk injury during inclement weather. Despite observing slick and snowy conditions on the roadway, the plaintiff nevertheless attempted his delivery at my clients’ residence; in the law, this is commonly referred to as an assumption of the risk.
