Syllabus

The trial court properly granted the motion for summary judgment filed by the defendant, a business premises owner, on the negligence claim filed by the plaintiff, a business invitee. Reasonable minds could only conlcude that the elevation difference in the sidewalk where the plaintiff fell was an open and obvious danger that was not hidden, concealed from view, or undiscoverable upon ordinary inspection. Further, there was no evidence of attendant circumstances that enhanced the danger to the plaintiff and contributed to his fall.
