Case: Motor Vehicle Accident
Counsel: Robert Von Hagen and Claire Lieber
Result: Summary Judgment Granted
This matter stems from a motor vehicle accident in which the plaintiff was a passenger of a vehicle owned and operated by our clients. Our client’s vehicle had come to a complete stop to allow another motorist to complete a turn, when our client’s vehicle was struck in the rear by a vehicle operated by the co-defendant. Our client was being an attentive driver at the time of the accident and a certified Police Accident Report indicated that the co-defendant was following too closely behind our client. On behalf of our clients, we moved for summary judgment on the issue of liability, dismissing all claims and cross claims against our clients. The Court subsequently granted the motion in favor of our client.
