How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- one element of premises-liability claim is premises owner’s actual or constructive knowledge of condition causing plaintiff’s injury
- the duty to warn against icy conditions was satisfied with a general warning because a reasonable person would know of the danger slipping in icy conditions
- “don’t slip” warning “could only have been taken by a reasonable person as a warning of a specific condition—a slippery walking surface” and was not inadequate because defendant did not specifically warn of ice on walkway
- The warning “don’t slip” allows for the inference of a slippery walkway.
