WCM’s Executive Partner Robert J. Cosgrove and Associate Jonathan I. Molchany successfully obtained summary judgment on behalf of two defendants in a casualty action pending in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Camden County. The plaintiffs brought claims against multiple defendants, including two represented by WCM.

WCM moved for summary judgment seeking dismissal of all claims against its clients. Despite opposition to the motion, the court granted summary and dismissed all claims against WCM’s clients with prejudice. The ruling secured a complete resolution for the clients before trial.

The decision highlights the value of summary judgment as a litigation strategy in casualty matters, particularly where a successful motion can eliminate claims before trial and reduce the continued exposure and costs associated with trial preparation and defense.
