Linda Buckner and Lawrence Buckner v. Sam's Club, Incorporated

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that summary judgment is appropriate where, despite an expert's opinion to the contrary, the undisputed facts would not allow a reasonable jury to infer proximate cause
• noting that the affidavit supplied “the missing causal link between the store and the fall”
• excluding a supplemental affidavit's detailed description of a fact when the affiant had disclaimed knowledge of that same fact at her deposition
• affirming district court’s decision to strike an expert affidavit when it failed to offer more than “simple common sense”
• excluding expert testimony about the likelihood of the creation of a hazard where plaintiffs failed to present evidence of causation linking the alleged hazard to plaintiff’s fall
• affirming sum‐ mary judgment for defendant under Indiana law; plaintiff slipped on an unknown object, and without evidence of cau‐ sation could not establish a prima facie case of negligence
