John Fleming defended the Third-Party Defendant, the owner of a building, arising out of an accident that occurred during the demolition process of the building. A stairwell had been removed, and a police officer fell down the open and unprotected stairwell, while patrolling the building at night. At trial, the jury placed 80% of the liability on the demolition company (defended by a different law firm) and only 20% on the building owner.
