U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 22-2437
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Delta
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Stras and Kobes, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Products liability. The district court did not err in
granting Home Depot's motion for summary judgment on plaintiff's claim
that the ladder involved in her deceased husband's fatal fall was
defective, as the evidence failed to show that the alleged defects, either
singularly or in combination, caused him to fall; plaintiff failed to
negate other causes of the observed failure and she could not raise an
inference that the design defect was at work in the accident.
