Craig v. Franklin Mills Associates, LP

How courts have described this case

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

• granting summary judgment because no evidence of duration for spill in middle of mall
• finding loss of carbonation did not constitute evidence of constructive notice as it was equally likely the soda lost its carbonation while sitting on the floor for many minutes or a few seconds after it spilled
• “If the underlying negligence claim brought by the claimant's spouse is dismissed ... the loss of consortium claim must also be dismissed.”
• presence or absence of “footprints or cart tracks” through puddle can be considered to show constructive notice of condition
• “Kristina’s testimony that there were no footprints or dirt near the spill provides no further guidance to the jury, and, if anything, suggests a lack of passersby walking through the spill.”
• “A jury can infer from a dried puddle of soda that a spill has existed for a certain duration because the soda would not dry inside a bottle or cup, but rather only after it was spilled.”
