Chandler Black and Amy Klotz Prevail on Motion to Dismiss for Fraud in Premises Liability Matter

Chandler Black and Amy Klotz prevailed on a motion to dismiss for fraud on the court in a premises liability action. Based on records from medical providers, which the plaintiff failed to disclose, Chandler and Amy showed that the plaintiff provided false interrogatory responses and deposition testimony regarding her alleged injuries. The plaintiff argued that she inadvertently failed to disclose prior complaints of pain in an area of her body she claimed sustained injury in the accident due to her age (70). She also took positions inconsistent with  information contained in the medical records. Chandler and Amy pointed out that, in her deposition, the plaintiff provided detailed information regarding medical treatment unrelated to her claim but failed to disclose any pertinent medical treatment.
