Korean tourist asks court to dismiss slip-and-fall lawsuit against PIC
Summary
Eunhee Lee, a Korean tourist who initially filed a lawsuit against Pacific Islands Club (PIC) and its insurance company, Century Company (Guam) Ltd., following a slip-and-fall incident on March 27, 2024, has now requested the District Court of Guam to dismiss the case with prejudice. The stipulation for dismissal, filed on March 13, indicates that both parties will bear their own costs and attorney fees. Lee originally sought damages exceeding $1 million and a jury trial, alleging that unsafe conditions on the hotel’s sidewalk led to her injuries. This dismissal follows a similar case filed by another Korean tourist, Taehee Kim, against Rihga Royal Laguna Guam Resort, which was also dismissed with prejudice in February. Both tourists filed their complaints in November 2024, alleging injuries from slip-and-fall incidents occurring in March 2024.
