Matter Caption: Guerini v. Vin-Rick Builders and Hutch Grove Enterprises, et al.
Our office represented a defendant (Vin-Rick Builders, LLC) in a construction injury lawsuit filed in Essex County Court. This case was previously reported on here. Hutch Grove Enterprises appealed the verdict claiming (1) denial of its Motion for Summary Judgment was error, and (2) the trial judge’s jury charge was insufficient in explaining the duties of the general contractor.
The Appellate Division affirmed the jury trial finding that the denial of Hutch Grove Enterprises’ Motion for Summary Judgment was proper and the jury charge adequately explained the duties of the owner of a construction project who assumes the role of the general contractor.
