Attorneys Kari L. Melkonian and Patrick J. Walbridge recently obtained summary dispositions in Wayne County Circuit Court for two separate clients.
The first was on behalf of a hotel in a case arising out of a slip and fall on water at a wedding reception. The Court held that the alleged water was observable, therefore plaintiff’s claim was barred by the open and obvious doctrine.
The other was on behalf of a restaurant in an implied warranty and food safety act claim arising out of dental injuries sustained from a foreign object in a salad. In this case, the Court found that plaintiff failed to meet his burden of establishing a breach or causation as he could not identify the alleged foreign object.
