Humphries v. Gulf Oil Corp.
Court of Appeals of Georgia
1Opinion of the Court
McMurray, Presiding Judge.
This is a “slip and fall” case in which the trial court granted summary judgment to defendants. Viewing the evidence most favorably to plaintiff, we find the following:
Plaintiff brought a van to a service station to get it serviced and checked for a trip. The station was operated by defendants. Plaintiff pulled up to the full-service island and the attendant began to fill the van with gas. Because he was pumping the gas too quickly, the attendant spilled it two times. At that point, plaintiff got out of the van and showed the attendant how to pump the gas more slowly.
