Morales v. Weatherford U.S.

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment dismissing Morales's claims against Weatherford because the roadway presented an open and obvious danger and Weatherford therefore owed Morales no duty of care under the undisputed facts. The court characterized Morales's claims as premises-liability claims, held the duty question was one of law, and concluded neither the roadway's presence nor Morales's self-created distraction triggered an exception to the open-and-obvious-danger doctrine.
