Docket No. 2017-0003668, Peter Wanek secured summary judgment in favor of a retail client in a case pending in the 21st Judicial District Court for the Parish of Tangipahoa. In that case, the plaintiff claimed that she was injured when she slipped and fell on a liquid substance on the ground at the defendant’s premises. The Court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendant merchant, reasoning that there was no evidence that defendant created the condition or had notice of its presence before the incident.
