The Monson Law Firm Wins MSJ

The Monson Law Firm attorney Josh Dierker recently won a Motion for Summary Judgment in the case of “Vanessa Humphrey v. Higbee Lancoms, L.P. et al” in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Plaintiff alleged that she slipped and fell on a wet concrete handicap ramp outside Dillard’s department store in Gretna, Louisiana.  Dillard’s filed a Third Party Complaint against R. Siebert Construction (“Siebert”), who painted the ramp at issue, for contribution and indemnity.  In our Motion for Summary Judgment, The Monson Law Firm successfully argued that Siebert did not owe either contribution or indemnity to Dillard’s under Louisiana law.   The Honorable Susie Morgan granted the motion by judgment signed on October 31, 2019, dismissing Dillard’s claims, with prejudice.
