Abigail defended the landlord/owner of a house rented to an unmarried couple with two children. During the night, an alleged carbon monoxide leak was detected, and the boyfriend carried all three other residents who were overcome by fumes outside to safety. The case involved claims for medical bills and breathing injuries. Expert testimony revealed that a pipe in the furnace failed, unbeknownst to the landlord or the tenants. The court found no negligence, and granted judgment in favor of Abigail’s client, the defendant landlord of the home.
