Joe Cardile wins defense verdict in jury trial involving negligence and private nuisance claims in sunlight reflection case.

In April 2018, TT&H Attorney Joe Cardile won a defense verdict for a home builder in a negligence and private nuisance lawsuit. The Plaintiff, a real estate agent, owned a single family home in Baltimore City, Maryland. Attorney Cardile’s client built and sold a neighboring home containing low emissivity windows. The Plaintiff filed a lawsuit and sought up to $96,000.00. The suit alleged that the windows reflected sunlight at such a high intensity as to cause the Plaintiff’s vinyl siding to melt along with internal electrical components to her home. Following four days of trial, the jury determined that Attorney Cardile’s client was not negligent for installing the windows and that the windows did not create a private nuisance.
