Kimberley Hall vs. Tacala, LLC d/b/a Taco Bell; United States District Court, Eastern District of Tennessee at Chattanooga; Case No. 1:20-CV-00203
Dan Gendreau and Scott Festin won summary judgment on behalf of Tacala, LLC on the grounds that the plaintiff failed to prove the existence of any defective condition on the premises that may have caused her injury, or that Tacala had actual or constructive notice of such a condition. Plaintiff was standing in line to order food at Defendant’s Taco Bell restaurant, when a ceiling tile fell and struck her in the head. The Court ruled that plaintiff failed to establish the existence of a defective condition that would have caused it to fall or that Tacala knew or should have known of any such condition.
