Nelson Skyler and Jamie Beller Secure Complete Summary Judgment Win for Product Assembly Client
Our Firm is proud to announce a significant victory on behalf of our product assembler client in the 434th Judicial District Court of Fort Bend County, Texas.
Our client faced allegations by the plaintiff, who claimed that a defective or improperly assembled workout bench caused his injuries. The claims against our client centered on alleged negligence relating to the assembly or setup of the bench at a popular retailer.
Nelson Skyler and Jamie Beller successfully moved for summary judgment on both traditional and no-evidence grounds. The court found that:
- The evidence conclusively established there was no assembly error. Our expert provided uncontroverted testimony.
- Plaintiff failed to designate any expert witness to support the theory that assembly of the bench proximately caused the alleged injuries—a requirement under Texas law for claims of this type.
- It was found that there was no competent evidence of a breach of duty, defective assembly, or proximate causation traceable to our client.
- All of Plaintiff’s claims against our client were based on speculation, and the plaintiff failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact as required to proceed to trial.
By obtaining summary judgment on all claims, Nelson Skyler and Jamie Beller achieved a total defense win for our client, affirming our team’s expertise in complex products liability and negligence defense. Congratulations to all involved for this outstanding result.
