Summary

The court affirmed the judgment entered on the jury's verdict for Elder, holding that substantial evidence supported findings that the wet, uneven concrete presented an unreasonably dangerous condition and that the landlords failed to maintain the premises as required by the lease. The court also upheld the admission of the chiropractor's causation testimony because the circuit court established his qualifications through an adequate foundation, while concluding that Elder's own causation testimony was erroneously admitted but harmless because it was cumulative. The court further held that denying the defendants' requested continuance did not constitute an abuse of discretion.
