Greenspoon Marder Attorney Kory Ann Ferro Successfully Represents Client in Third-Party Complaint Alleging Personal Injuries

Nov 8, 2023 Newark, NJ

Newark, N.J. – November 8, 2023 – Greenspoon Marder senior counsel Kory Ann Ferro successfully represented a designer/contractor client in a personal injury case where the owners of the premises sought contribution and indemnification from the client as a third-party defendant.

The case arose from the defendants seeking to blame the firm’s client for the collapse of a staircase that was constructed approximately ten years prior. Ms. Ferro filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that the third-party complaint was deficient and failed to state a claim against the client as there was no privity of contract with the defendants, no contractual indemnification clause, the requirement to maintain insurance had long since lapsed, and the defendants had a non-delegable duty to maintain their own property. Ms. Ferro also asserted that the defendants’ claims were barred by the statute of limitations. The Court agreed with every argument and dismissed the case against the firm’s client.

Ms. Ferro has an extensive background representing companies and individuals across the country in commercial litigation in state and federal courts. Her experience includes contract and other business disputes, restrictive covenants litigation, employment claims, foreclosure cases, and class action matters. In addition to being admitted in the state and federal courts in New Jersey and New York, Ms. Ferro has been admitted to represent clients for specific cases in various other jurisdictions including Florida, California, and North Carolina.
