How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that, before granting summary judgment, circuit court did not err in excluding safety expert’s opinion about tripping hazard, where expert’s investigation was limited to testimony of an interested party and cursory examination of site long after accident
  • summary judgment was appropriate because there was nothing but plaintiffs conjecture that she may have fallen on upturned carpet and no evidence that grocery had notice of -that condition
  • “Expert testimony is not necessary when it relates to ‘matters of which the jurors would be aware by virtue of common knowledge.’”
  • Frye-Reed test not relevant where testimony involved an opinion on safety measures, not a new and novel scientific technique
