Carl Lanfear and Justin Gonzales obtained summary disposition in a premises liability case. The Plaintiff filed a lawsuit in November 2024, alleging injuries sustained in a slip-and-fall incident that occurred in December 2021. She passed away in 2023, but there was no estate created in violation of MCR 2.202. Given that no estate was created, the case was dismissed pursuant to MCR 2.116(c)(5). The Court dismissed with prejudice because the statute of limitations had expired as well. At Cardelli Lanfear, we explore all potential defenses in representing our clients, both substantive and procedural.
