Best Child Custody Lawyers in Hempstead, NY

Attorneys at Cohen Law Firm recently defeated a motion for summary judgment filed by BMW in connection with soft close automatic door injuries sustained by our client, Alexis Fields. The Honorable Gary R. Brown denied BMW’s Motion for Summary Judgment and for Preclusion in Alexis Fields v. BMW, Case 2:18-cv-02889-GRB-SIL, with the exception of Plaintiff’s manufacturing defect claim. Prior to the accident, Fields did not know the door could self-close from a close distance. Plaintiff repeatedly argued that SCAD is nothing short of a modern-day guillotine with no abject purpose other than, admittedly, to ensure that BMW doors are securely closed in cold-weather conditions, that they do not prop open when driving, and to minimize the “unbearable” sound of a car door slamming harder than one would want. Thus, the inherent risks of SCAD far outweigh the utility of its limited-purpose design. Do you have a soft close door injury, or know someone who was injured? Call us for a free consultation.
