THLG obtained summary judgment in the defense of a commercial printing facility against allegations of negligence (click here for full details).

The defense against the allegations of negligence was in connection with plaintiff's trip over a cement expansion joint located in defendant's parking lot, resulting in a torn rotator cuff.

The summary judgment was entered on grounds that the expansion joint was both a de minimis condition and an open and obvious condition, for which the printing facility did not owe a duty of care to the plaintiff.
