Wall Successfully Defends Hospital in Premises Liability Case

Marshall Wall obtained summary judgment on behalf of a larger regional hospital in a case involving a trip and fall in the hospital’s parking lot. The plaintiff tripped over a plastic base that was 1.5- 2 inches high, 6 inches wide and stuck to the ground with an adhesive, as she walked to her car following radiation treatment. The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s decision finding the plastic base was apparent and that the plaintiff’s ability to see the plastic base was not obstructed.
