Landlord Dismissed in a Premises Liability/Joint Enterprise Case
Attorneys Trey Byars and Mark Woods successfully argued their client, a landlord, be granted summary judgment in a case that involved a tenant’s employee being seriously injured by a piece of industrial equipment. The claims filed against the landlord were based on premises liability and the theory that the landlord and tenant were part of a joint enterprise. The Pontotoc County Circuit Court dismissed all claims against the landlord.
