The trial court granted summary judgment for the Hendels, finding they owed no duty to Wilkins. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the Hendels did not make a \"special use\" of the public right-of-way, which would have created a duty to maintain or repair the sewer vent.","primaryTopic":"premises-liability","topicSlugs":["premises-liability","negligence","summary-judgment","civil-procedure","other"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=189897","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/belinda-wilkins-appellant-v-john-hendel-and-patricia-hendel-respondents-a-110387","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: personal-injury","topic: negligence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"slug":"slip-and-fall","label":"Slip and Fall","href":"/practice-areas/slip-and-fall","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: premises-liability"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/slip-and-fall"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: summary-judgment"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
