Ruddy v. Holiday Inn Midtown

Outcome: summary judgment granted

Description: This matter arose from a slip and fall accident on the premises of the client's hotel. The Plaintiff broke her ankle, which required surgery. However, Plaintiff was unable to satisfy the legal standard for a slip and fall case in Georgia because she was unable to show that the defendants had superior knowledge of an alleged hazard on the property. Plaintiff's deposition testimony pertaining to what she saw in the area in which she fell was excluded at summary judgment under the Prophecy rule.
