Jim Brennan Obtained Defense Verdict in a premises liability lawsuit in Nantucket Superior Court

5-12-2022  – Plaintiff tripped and fell on a step inside a Nantucket jewelry store, despite an overhead sign warning customers to “Step Up”. Jim Brennan argued in defense that the jewelry store was not negligent and that even if the warning sign had been posted on the step itself, the Plaintiff would have still tripped since he was not looking where he was walking as he did not see the step before he tripped on it. The jury found that the store was not negligent and a Defense verdict was entered. The case name is Arthur Kokot v. Jewel in the Sea, Nantucket Superior Court, Civil Action No. 2075CV00013.
