In a contentious case involving a claim of lung cancer, Amy Kott and Chris Bruni were successful in blocking Plaintiff’s cause of action for punitive damages alleged against their client, a northern California contractor. Amy and Chris crafted a compelling motion for summary adjudication, which was argued before the Presiding Judge of the San Francisco County Superior Court.

Chris Bruni and Amy Kott fought for, and won, a dismissal in a wrongful death lawsuit involving a claim of malignant mesothelioma filed in Alameda Superior Court. The claim involved allegations of exposure to asbestos to the decedent, a lathe and plaster journeyman, throughout the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Chris and Amy were successful in proving that there was no exposure by their client, a specialty subcontractor. Faced with a forceful motion for summary judgment, Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their case.
