Chmielewski v. Kahlfeldt

Plaintiff, Michael Chmielewski, appeals from an order of the circuit court of Du Page County which granted summary judgment for defendants, Oliver and Bertha Steinhaus, and third-party defendants, Joseph and Marjorie Gudlin, on plaintiff’s complaint for personal injury.

On appeal, plaintiff claims the trial court improperly struck his affidavit and that a question of fact exists as to whether the alleged defective condition of the stairs was a contributing proximate cause of plaintiff’s injuries.
