Non-profit – Summary Judgment Granted in Alleged Malpractice Dispute
Herrick secured a significant victory for a legal non-profit agency, obtaining summary judgment dismissing all claims against the organization in an action brought under the Adult Survivors Act. In this matter, the Plaintiff asserted negligent hiring and supervision claims based on alleged misconduct by the organization and an attorney. The Court agreed with Herrick that plaintiff failed to raise any triable issue of fact that the organization knew or should have known of any alleged propensity by the attorney to engage in the conduct at issue, and dismissed the claims in their entirety.
