Samuel Lasseter v. Awh-Bp Jackson Hotel, LLC and Spire Hospitality, LLC

Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court affirmed summary judgment for the hotel and the denial of Lasseter’s motion to alter or amend. The court held that Lasseter failed to provide admissible evidence that the transition strip was defective before or when he fell, that the hotel’s negligence caused the condition, or that the hotel had actual or constructive knowledge of it. The court also concluded that evidence showing the strip remained in its installed condition did not establish a preexisting dangerous condition or notice.
