FLB Law Settles High-Exposure Case Against Condo Association

A litigation team led by Matthias Sportini settled two separate lawsuits involving the same plaintiff, who suffered injuries from two distinct falls allegedly involving ice in the parking lot of her condominium. The defendant condominium association was represented by FLB Law.

The plaintiff initially demanded several millions of dollars, citing her injuries and their significant impact on her daily activities. Upon receiving the demand, FLB Law impleaded the snow removal company responsible for providing services in the parking lot at the time of the first incident.

Following the snow removal contractor's appearance in the lawsuit, FLB Law moved for summary judgment against it based on its duty to defend pursuant to the snow removal contract. The snow removal contractor subsequently agreed to provide the defense. 

After further discovery raised several challenges for the plaintiff to prove her claims against the defendant, the lawsuits settled for less than $100,000 with an equal contribution from the snow removal contractor.

This outcome highlights the effective legal strategy employed to mitigate the financial impact on the condominium association, significantly reducing the initial demand and resolving both lawsuits.
