Seago v. Estate of Berry Earle III

Boggs, Judge.

Alan Seago brought this action against the estate of Berry Earle III for injuries he sustained in a four-wheeler accident. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of Earle’s estate, and Seago appeals. Because the evidence, construed in Seago’s favor, shows that he had equal knowledge of the hazard that caused his injury but failed to exercise reasonable care for his own safety, we affirm.

An owner or occupier of land must exercise ordinary care to keep his premises safe for invitees. OCGA § 51-3-1; American Multi-Cinema v. Brown, 285 Ga. 442, 447 (3) (679 SE2d 25)…
