Aaron R. White and Michael P. Johnson of Boyle | Shaughnessy’s Boston office presents: Navigating Employment Law Issues Caused by COVID-19 Legislation
Jurisdiction: Middlesex Superior Court
Shareholders Nick Kosiavelon and Megan Fitzgerald of BSL’s Boston office won a defense verdict in a traumatic brain injury (“TBI”) case in Middlesex Superior Court.
The Plaintiff alleged that she fell backward on untreated ice in the parking lot of a supermarket hitting her head and suffering a traumatic brain injury and variety of orthopedic injuries. The Plaintiff utilized “reptile lawyering” tactics, asserting that because the Plaintiff fell in a handicap parking area the client had a heightened duty to ensure the area was clear of hazards.
The Defense focused on the weather conditions, calling a local meteorologist, as well the extensive efforts of the defendant to address snow and ice conditions at the store. The Defense also presented testimony from a retained neurologist arguing that the TBI claim was meritless and that all of the Plaintiff’s complaints were either non-existent or pre-existing.
After a six day trial the jury returned a no-negligence defense verdict.
