Georgia Court of Appeals

Angela Teston et al.. v. Southcore Construction, Inc.

A15A2324 March 28, 2016 Reversed

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue is whether a plaintiff had a heightened obligation to look down for hazards after furniture removal, despite not seeing specific exposed cords before falling. The Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's summary judgment because there was no evidence Teston knew about the specific hazard causing her fall prior to it occurring.
