Notable Representations

Wrongful Death Case Dismissed Nine Months After Suit

Success in wrongful death occurring in West Baton Rouge Parish.  Driver of three-wheeler died in an accident on a private gravel road owned by our Client. A Motion for Summary Judgment was filed concurrent with the Answer. Bevan prevailed on the motion, obtaining a full dismissal for our client, within nine months of being brought into suit.

Slip and Fall with Cervical Surgery Dismissed on MSJ

Obtained dismissal of all claims in a Plaintiff slip and fall on allegedly defective stairs at a mobile home purchased from our client. Bevan filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on the grounds that, regardless of whether the stairs were defective, Plaintiff assumed, and our client disclaimed, any duty to provide stairs. The Court ruled in our favor and the case was dismissed.

Settled Case for Less Than Specials

Pursued cost-effective settlement at mediation for our client when a Plaintiff fell through a floor injuring her knee, which required surgery. At mediation, case was settled for a total amount which was less than Plaintiff’s medical bills alone.

All consortium claims were dismissed via exception of prescription, and case settled for relatively nominal amount.
