Daniel Lytle recently obtained summary judgment in a premises liability case in favor of his client, a property owner in Jackson County, Illinois. The plaintiff sued the property owner after a fall that plaintiff claimed was caused by an object protruding from the ground. Lytle successfully argued that plaintiff could not prove a causal connection between the claimed hazard on the property and plaintiff’s claimed fall. After discovery, briefing, and oral argument, the court agreed and granted summary judgment to HeplerBroom’s client.
