RECENT RESULTS:
Recently, Thomas B. Cummings received a defense verdict, by a vote of 11 to 1, in a case where the plaintiff was pursuing the firm's client on a contractual indemnity theory. The exposure on the case was up to $2 million dollars if the plaintiff had prevailed. However, in a bifurcated case, Mr. Cummings was able to achieve a defense verdict in favor of our client, thereby saving the exposure of $2 million dollars, plus any claims for interests, costs and attorney fees.
Another recent verdict includes a sitiation where a man in a wheelchair entered a store to conduct a transaction. The store was equipped with facilities that were facilitated to assist customers with disabilities. The man in the wheelchair attempted to exploit the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Unruh Act by claiming the store was in violation of the ADA guidelines. The Plaintiff filed suit and demanded settlement. Thomas Cummings defended the store owners through trial and received a unamimous 12-0 defense verdict in favor of the store owners.
