Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Sep 26, 2018
GLENDA MARIE POTTER, Plaintiff-Appellant vs. HY-VEE, INC., Defendant-Respondent
Glenda Potter, a business invitee, sued Hy-Vee, Inc. for premises liability after she fell in one of its stores. A jury found in favor of Hy-Vee, and Potter appealed, alleging instructional error and improper admission of expert testimony. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding no error in the verdict-director instruction, the admission of an orthopedic expert's testimony on the cause of the fall, or the admission of experimental evidence regarding floor slip-resistance.
