Summary Judgment Granted on Reasonable Care Issue

On May 13, 2010, Jonathan Allan Klein and Anne F. Marchant successfully obtained summary judgment on behalf of Safeway Inc. in a premises liability case in San Mateo County Superior Court.  The case involved serious personal injuries to an elderly customer who slipped and fell upon entering a Safeway store.  The trial court found that Safeway met its burden establishing that it exercised reasonable care in inspecting the retail floor areas on the date of Plaintiff’s slip and fall, including the lobby where Plaintiff fell and that Plaintiff had not met his burden to present competent, admissible evidence showing that a triable issue of material facts existed.  (Code of Civ. Proc. § 437c(p)(2).)  See attached order.
