According to information provided by the plaintiffs’ counsel, on April 1, 2015, plaintiff Frank Luzniak, a systems engineer in his 40s, parked his vehicle in the parking lot of a Kraft Foods Global facility in Whippany. After he stepped out, he was closing the driver’s side door when he slipped on a patch of black ice about 12 feet long. He landed on his neck and left shoulder. He claimed injuries to his neck, back, left shoulder, left ankle, and both wrists.
Luzniak sued property-owner CLF Parsippany LLC; property-manager Cushman & Wakefield Inc.; and security contractor Guardsmark, LLC/Universal Protection Services, LLC. He also sued Kraft Foods Global Inc. and snow-and-ice removal-services contractor A-L Services Inc. and its owner, Bill Schneyer, but all three were dismissed prior to trial.
