Billy/Dot, Inc. v. Fields

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• reversing denial of summary judgment where the plaintiff failed to introduce evidence to connect an allegedly defective sidewalk with her fall, thus “causation [was] not established”
• property owner entitled to summary judgment where claimant offered only speculation about what caused her to fall on property
• “[W]hen the plaintiff cannot show the existence of a hazardous condition, she cannot prove the cause of her injuries and there can be no recovery because an essential element of negligence cannot be proven.”
• summary judgment warranted where plaintiff testified that it was not clear to her whether her foot caught on something and she could not say for certain that flower bed fencing she blamed for the fall was on the sidewalk before she fell
