Charter Communications (De) Inc. et al.. v. Cindy L. Berwick

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue was whether the plaintiff's long-term knowledge of a television cable across her driveway negated liability for an injury caused by tripping over it. The Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the decision, holding that the plaintiff's own lack of due care was the proximate cause of her injury because she had successfully negotiated the dangerous condition previously.
