Wade, Clark & Mulcahy, Attorneys At Law

WCM Granted Summary Judgment in Bronx, New York Personal Injury Case
Senior Partner John Mulcahy was granted summary judgment in a Bronx, New York personal injury lawsuit. In the case of Abrams v. Jai Behole, Inc. d/b/a Oasis Motel, the plaintiff, a motel guest, slipped on melting ice-machine ice that had allegedly been dropped by a fellow motel guest. As a result of the fall, the plaintiff suffered a comminuted left foot calcaneal fracture.

At the close of discovery, we moved for summary judgment. We argued that plaintiff lacked any evidence to prove that our client had actual or constructive notice of any ice or water in the stairwell where plaintiff fell. We also suggested that the plaintiff’s significant cocaine use on the date of the accident was the cause of his accident. In opposition, the plaintiff argued that our focus on his cocaine use was a red herring and that, given the large amount of water on the stairs, there was a question of fact as to whether our client knew or should have known about the dangerous condition.

The Court rejected the plaintiff’s analysis and dismissed all claims against our client.
