RFC Obtains Summary Judgment In Multi-Party Construction Negligence Lawsuit

RFC attorneys Cory D. Anderson and Sagar P. Thakkar recently obtained summary judgment on behalf of an RFC client named as a defendant in a multi-party negligence lawsuit arising from catastrophic personal injuries sustained on a construction job site in Cook County, Illinois. RFC’s client was one of multiple contractor defendants named in the litigation, and plaintiffs’ global settlement demand totaled $350,000,000. RFC filed and briefed a motion for summary judgment as to plaintiffs’ claims against its client, and after a hearing, the Circuit Court of Cook County entered an order granting the motion and entering judgment in favor of RFC’s client. A subsequent motion filed by RFC also eliminated all claims for contribution and indemnification filed by co-defendants against its client. The case continued against all remaining defendants, and the rulings in favor of RFC’s client will not be appealed.
