Kennedys secures defense victory in movie theater injury case

Kennedys partner Sean Burns and associate Daniel Murphy recently secured a defense verdict in a jury trial before the New York County Supreme Court.

Sean and Daniel represented a leading movie theatre chain against allegations of negligent maintenance and defects related to a revolving door, which allegedly caused the plaintiff to fall and sustain serious injuries requiring surgery including a total hip replacement and insertion of hardware in her left femur.

Plaintiff’s counsel asked the jury to award $3 million in damages.

The jury ultimately found no liability on the part of the theatre chain.
