Ridgeway v. Acme Markets, Inc.

Summary

The Court affirmed summary judgment for the defendants in a premises-liability action arising from Ridgeway’s fall on ice in a grocery-store parking lot. It did not decide whether expert testimony was required because the defendants showed that the lot had been repeatedly plowed and salted, while Ridgeway offered no evidence identifying a negligent act or breach of duty. After that showing, Ridgeway failed to create a genuine issue of material fact.
