Fredrickson v. Bertolino's Tacoma, Inc.
Court of Appeals of Washington
1Opinion of the Court
*186¶1
Armstrong, J.
—Alan Fredrickson appeals a summary-judgment dismissing his personal injury claim against Bertolino’s coffee shop. Fredrickson alleges that he was injured when a chair he sat in at Bertolino’s broke. The trial court granted summary judgment because Fredrickson presented no evidence that Bertolino’s either actually or constructively knew the chair was defective. Fredrickson argues that because Bertolino’s way of doing business created an ongoing danger of injury from old chairs, he was not required to prove knowledge. We disagree with Fredrickson and therefore affirm.
