Partner, John Wynne and Partner, Courtney Chadwell Secure Dismissal On All Claims In Complex Appellate Division.

Barry McTiernan & Moore LLC successfully prevailed on an appeal, securing the dismissal of all claims in a complex matter involving a passenger who was tragically shot by an assailant from the sidewalk while aboard our client’s bus.​
​
Partner, John Wynne secured this win alongside Partner, Courtney Chadwell who appeared before the Appellate Division. The arguments included that the bus operator’s actions constituted a governmental function, thereby shielding it from liability in negligence.​
​
The Court agreed, finding that no special duty was owed to the decedent, as there was no affirmative representation made directly to her regarding the provision of additional safety measures, and dismissed all causes of action in their entirety.​
​
Barry McTiernan & Moore is proud of its attorneys’ dedication to achieving successful outcomes, particularly in challenging and high-exposure matters, through thoughtful advocacy and strategic litigation.​
