CG&P 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 CG&P’s client. CG&P moved for summary judgment in favor of its client, and the Court agreed with CG&P’s 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 CG&P’s 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 CG&P Associate Renton D. Persaud, along with CG&P Partners Domingo Gallardo and June Reiter.
