New Jersey Appellate Division Affirms Summary Judgment Obtained by Kunsch
On December 9, 2022, the Superior Court of New Jersey Appellate Division affirmed a summary judgment order obtained in Hunterdon County by Sweeney & Sheehan Partner Michael Kunsch in favor of a restaurant franchisee. Plaintiffs alleged they sustained injuries when a sinkhole developed under their vehicle while they were exiting the drive-thru. The Appellate Division agreed with the trial court that there was no evidence that the condition existed before the incident or that the defendant had notice of the alleged dangerous condition.
