Summary Judgment Secured in Georgia Trip and Fall Case

Posted in Verdicts and Settlements on May 30, 2025

Partners Joshua C. Canton and Justin B. Hales of our Thomasville, Georgia office recently prevailed on a motion for summary judgment in a premises liability trip and fall case in Miller County, Georgia.  Plaintiff, represented by one of America’s largest injury firms, claimed he went to the Defendant’s property to obtain cargo to transport when he tripped on a scale causing him to sustain injury.  The defense successfully moved for summary judgment based on the scale being open and obvious as it was surrounded by a bright yellow line, and Plaintiff had traversed the scale on three prior occasions.
