How courts have described this case

• analyzing the invitee’s slip and fall claim based upon the property owner’s constructive knowledge of the alleged defect
• plaintiff’s admitted speculation that she may have tripped on worn carpeting does not sufficiently establish causation
• plaintiff’s admitted speculation that she may have tripped on worn carpeting does not sufficiently establish causation
• testimony that inspection procedures in place insufficient to support defendant’s summary judgment motion when no testimony inspections actually made
• plaintiffs belief that “worn and frayed carpeting which she noticed at the top of the stairwell subsequent to her fall” caused her fall was speculation and did not establish causation
• where handrail on hotel stairway pulled loose when plaintiff grabbed it to stop herself from falling, summary judgment inappropriate on issue of hotel’s constructive knowledge because there was evidence that hotel owner lacked reasonable inspection procedure
