On May 29, 2024, Tom Dukes and Dhillon Ramkhelawan obtained final summary judgment for a local high school in Orange County. The lawsuit surrounded a wrestling match at our client’s high school where one of the competitors pushed his opponent into the stands injuring Plaintiff. Plaintiff argued the setup of the wrestling mats were negligently close to the bleachers. The Court agreed that Plaintiff did not provide any record evidence that the setup of mats in relation to bleachers constituted a dangerous condition and that our client did not violate any state or national athletic guidelines. The Court also agreed that even if the set up was to be considered a dangerous condition, it was an open and obvious condition.
