Syllabus
Trip and fall negligence summary judgment business invitee open-and-obvious doctrine. Trial court did not err in granting summary judgment on negligence claim based on plaintiff's stepping off a walkway and falling into a planter box at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Because the only reasonable conclusion that could be drawn from the facts was that the hazard presented by the edge of the planter box was open and obvious, the museum owed no duty to the plaintiff to warn her of the hazard.
