Commercial Litigation – Obtained Complete Dismissal of Negligence Action in Trial Court and Successfully Argued Case on Appeal
Steve Johnson was retained by an aerospace company charged with negligence in causing approximately $1 million dollars in property damage as a result of a fire. Steve’s knowledge of insurance law and negligence were essential to presenting a motion to dismiss before the trial court that eliminated all the claims brought against the commercial client. Undaunted by the defeat in the trial court, the Plaintiff appealed the decision. At oral argument, Steve clearly and persuasively answered the questions from the appellate panel who returned a unanimous decision in favor of the firm’s client.
