Williams v. United Corp.

How courts have described this case

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

• noting that the evidence presented can be direct or circumstantial but showing the mere possibility that something occurred in a particular way is not sufficient
• stating that the Court may only take a nonmovant’s allegations as true if they are supported by the record
• applying standards currently set forth in Fed. R. Civ. R 56(a) and (c)
• in the absence of actual notice, evidence that the owner “should have discovered the danger and taken steps to remedy it” can establish constructive notice
• evidence allowed an inference that “the substance had been on the floor long enough that Plaza should have discovered it”
• “It is a basic principle ... that trial judges should not weigh the evidence, make credibility determinations, or draw ‘legitimate inferences’ from the facts when ruling upon summary judgment motions because these are the functions of the jury.”
