Edward Wiggins v. Cedar Christina Crossing, LLC and Eastern LLC

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed summary judgment for the shopping-center owner and snow-removal contractor in a slip-and-fall action. The defendants met their initial burden by showing that they had treated the parking lot before the incident and that it was clear and dry when the plaintiff fell, while the plaintiff offered only contradictory testimony that was not sufficient to establish a genuine dispute regarding breach. The Court did not reach the plaintiff's argument that his testimony about slipping on black ice alone could defeat summary judgment.
