Summary Judgment- Kings County

7/22/2013
Gartsman v. Cecile Realty
In Gartsman, plaintiff tripped and fell on a pedestrian ramp abutting the sidewalk of our client’s property. As a result of the accident, plaintiff sustained a fracture to right hip requiring surgery and a month long hospitalization.

At the close of discovery, Philip Odett filed a motion for summary judgment arguing our client, the property owner, was not responsible for the pedestrian ramp where plaintiff fell. Judge Landicino agreed and granted Mr. Odett’s motion after heated oral argument.
