Breitweiser-Hurst Secures SJ in Favor of Casino

Johnson & Bell Attorney, Catherine Breitweiser-Hurst, recently secured summary judgment in favor of her casino client in a premises liability dispute where plaintiff injured himself after an alleged fall in the casino parking lot.  However, none of the three other people with whom plaintiff entered the casino could recall seeing him fall.  Even the plaintiff speculated that he tripped over an uneven portion of sidewalk adjacent to the parking lot. Ms. Breitweiser-Hurst argued plaintiff’s case was too speculative with no evidence to support his claim.  The Northern District of Indiana court agreed and granted summary judgment.
