Description:
Case Name: Gloria Miller v. Keith Chamberlain and Michele Chamberlain
Court: Circuit Court for Putnam County, Tennessee at Cookeville
Case No.: 2022CV48
This case involved a negligence and premises liability claim regarding an April 5, 2021, incident on Keith and Michele Chamberlain’s property. Ms. Miller claimed she fell on a firm surface covered in dirt but could not identify any dangerous condition caused by the property owners.
McLemore Law PLLC filed a Motion for Summary Judgment, arguing that Ms. Miller’s claims failed as a matter of law due to the lack of evidence showing a dangerous condition or notice of such a condition. On February 22, 2024, the Court ruled in favor of the Chamberlains, finding no basis for liability. Judge Ridley signed the memorandum order on March 21, 2024, and it was officially entered by the Putnam County Circuit Court clerk on March 25, 2024. No appeal was filed within the required timeframe, finalizing the case dismissal.
