Partner, Bill Joyce and Associate, Dan Sullivan obtain summary judgment dismissing all claims.

We are proud to share a win for BMM!  Partner, Bill Joyce and Associate, Dan Sullivan secured summary judgment  in Queens County Supreme Court.  The motion was granted by the Court after oral argument by Associate, Dan Sullivan, resulting in a complete dismissal of all claims. 

This case arose from an alleged trip-and-fall accident involving a floor outlet where  plaintiff claimed injury.  Critical to the Court’s decision was the strength of the defense arguments including a clear and compelling affidavit from our client and a site map that  established that the client did not perform work at the claimed accident location.  The motion was filed prior to discovery being complete when if was clear that the client had no liability.

At the oral argument Dan Sullivan directed the Court's attention to the client's affidavit and the site map to ensure the Court understood the client's lack of liability in this case.

Excellent work done by Partner, Bill Joyce and Associate, Dan Sullivan start to finish  in achieving this strong result! At BMM, lifecycle is an important metric we use to measure success.  Getting out of cases timely and efficiently is something we always strive for when the facts present themselves.

Associate Daniel Sullivan Secures Early Dismissal With An Aggressive Approach.

Associate Daniel Sullivan successfully obtained a dismissal of all claims against the firm's client, a non-profit organization based in Queens. The complaint asserted that an infant and her mother sustained injuries while in a restroom at our client's gymnasium.

Following several attempts to advance the case after the plaintiff's counsel passed away, a motion to dismiss was filed due to non-compliance with discovery requirements. Since there was no response from the plaintiff herself, who was served personally, nor from anyone at her previous counsel's firm, the court dismissed the lawsuit in its entirety.

Mr. Sullivan's proactive strategy to resolve the case promptly and prevent it from lingering underscores the firm's focus on case lifecycle as a key performance indicator. We consistently roundtable our cases to ensure that none remain unresolved longer than necessary. This is an excellent victory for our client!
