Straughter v. J. H. Harvey Company, Inc.

Because there was no evidence to support Slaughter’s claim that J. H. Harvey Company, Inc. had actual or constructive knowledge of the hazard on which she slipped and fell, the trial court properly granted summary judgment in favor of Harvey.

In order to recover, Straughter had the burden of establishing (1) that Harvey had actual or constructive knowledge of the hazardous condition which caused the slip and fall, and (2) that she lacked knowledge of the hazard despite the exercise of ordinary care due to actions or conditions within the control of Harvey.
