Summary

The court affirmed the judgment for Elder and vacated the court of appeals’ opinion. It held that substantial evidence supported the jury’s findings that the wet, uneven concrete was an unreasonably dangerous condition known to the defendants and that the landlords had assumed a maintenance duty under the lease. The court also upheld admission of the chiropractor’s causation testimony and found that any error in admitting Elder’s own causation testimony was harmless because the chiropractor’s testimony independently established causation.
