Plaintiff filed suit in the United States after she suffered a significant leg fracture from falling down an allegedly defective staircase at a resort located in Quintana Roo, Mexico. Josh Yeager represented the resort and filed a motion arguing that the U.S. court was required to apply the law of Quintana Roo, Mexico to the case because the injuries occurred there and the conduct causing the injuries occurred there, among other things. The trial court denied the motion. However, Mr. Yeager filed an interlocutory appeal and the appellate court reversed the trial court’s decision and remanded the case back to the trial court with instructions to apply the law of Quintana Roo, Mexico to the case. Shortly after the appellate court’s ruling, the case settled for less than three percent (3%) of the Plaintiff’s original settlement demand that was issued near the beginning of the case.
