How courts have described this case

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

  • recognizing that the issue of comparative fault is for the jury unless the jury could “only conclude” that the plaintiff’s fault equals or exceeds the defendant’s fault
  • involving a steel post that was embedded in a parking lot
  • “Also important to the instant case is the fact that the area complained of was only a minor ‘aberration’ in the parking lot[.]”
  • Because the defects complained of were small aberrations, the foreseeability and gravity of harm considerations do not support a finding of liability on the part of the defendant
  • “Our decision that Ms. Green cannot show the essential element of [her negligence case] renders the other basis for the trial court’s ruling, specifically that Ms. Green was more than 50% at fault for her injuries, moot.”
