Nevada Office Obtains Summary Judgment in Premises Liability Case

Las Vegas associate Ryan Kerbow obtained summary judgment in favor of retailer Sam’s Club in a premises liability case. Plaintiff claimed special damages in excess of $1.4 million as a result of a slip and fall on a spill in a checkout lane. Summary judgment was granted as plaintiff was unable to rebut Sam’s Club’s evidence against a finding that Sam’s Club had actual or constructive notice of the spill.  Rosalind Martinez v. Sam’s West, Inc., No. 2:15-cv-02013-JCM-VCF (D. Nev. February 17, 2017)
