This appeal arises from a lawsuit filed against the defendant-appellant, Rhodes Funeral Home (“Rhodes”), and its liability insurer, Lafayette Insurance Company (“Lafayette”), for damages that the plaintiff-appellee, Ms. Dora Brisbon1 (“Ms.Brisbon”), sustained when she allegedly tripped and fell on carpet on the entrance steps of the funeral home. The trial court judge found in Ms. Brisbon’s favor. It is from this judgment that the defendant-appellants now appeal. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
