Rusty Grant obtained a jury defense verdict

Rusty Grant obtained a jury defense verdict in a case involving allegations that a homeowner negligently performed a martial arts maneuver on a guest, resulting in a broken hip. The plaintiff alleged that defendant was demonstrating a move she had learned in class when she threw him to the ground and landed on his right hip. The defendant claimed that the plaintiff fell while the two were engaged in mutual horseplay. Rusty later obtained an award of more than $9,000 in attorney’s fees for having to defend the case after the plaintiff rejected a pre-trial settlement offer.
