Mark Duncan v. Walmart, Inc.

Judge: Araceli Martinez-Olguin
Court: United States District Court for the Northern District of California (San Francisco County)
Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney: Christopher Mark McDonald and Zeana A. Zoreikat
Description:
San Francisco, California personal lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sued on a premises liability negligence theory.
This case was filed in the Contra Costa Superior Court, C23-02830, and was removed to federal court by Walmart.
The Plaintiff challenged the jurisdiction of the federal and sought remand.
The current diversity jurisdiction provision is codified at 28 U.S.C. § 1332, and grants federal court jurisdiction in all civil actions between citizens of different states and between a citizen of a state and a subject of a foreign state if the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000.
Under California law, it is the responsibilities of property owners toward their viUnsitors and details the compensation victims of accidents can seek. Whether the incident involves a slip-and-fall or another type of accident, premises liability law governs the legal options available to individuals injured on someone else's property.
