In context of nonsubscriber litigation, obtaining a summary judgment on liability is no small feat. Our client, a clothing manufacturer that proudly produces Made In America products designed for the law enforcement community, was facing significant exposure from an employee who claimed a severe back injury after a fall at work. The employee fell while attempting to sit in chair, claiming that the chair rolled out of her way. E&B Partner David Smith was able to convince the arbitrator that our client had no duty to protect or warn the employee of the dangers associated with attempting to sit in a chair. After obtaining a finding of no liability in the arbitration, the firm was able to confirm the arbitration award in the Bexar County District Court on November 1, 2024.
