FLB Law Secures Summary Judgment for Condo Association, Establishing Snow Removal Contractor's Duty to Defend

FLB Law Partner Matthias Sportini obtained summary judgment on behalf of a condominium association in a slip-and-fall case. The matter arose after a condominium owner filed a lawsuit against the condominium association, alleging injuries from a slip and fall on ice on the premises. The association, represented by FLB Law, asserted its right to a defense under the contract with the snow removal company responsible for winter maintenance. This contract required the contractor to defend the association against any claims related to its work.

Citing recent updates in Connecticut law, Matt argued, and the court ruled that the snow removal contractor was obligated to provide the association with a defense, saving the association from having to pay the litigation costs.
