Hulsey v. City of Flat River

SMITH, Presiding Judge.

Plaintiff and defendant cross-appeal from a judgment based upon a jury verdict awarding plaintiff $1000 for damages sustained by her in a fall on defendant’s sidewalk. Defendant contends that plaintiff failed to make a submissible case because (1) her knowledge of the condition was equal to defendant’s; (2) she did not present evidence to establish that the defective condition of the sidewalk steps was the proximate cause of her fall; and (3) plaintiff was contributorily negligent as a matter of law. Plaintiff contends on her appeal that the judgment is inadequate.
