Gregory G. Guice

Obtained a judgment in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals affirming the Northern District’s dismissal of a slip and fall case involving a Pepsi spill at a Dollar General. The plaintiff alleged that a spill by a Pepsi merchandiser earlier in the day was not properly cleaned by Pepsi or Dollar General, and caused a sticky floor which resulted in her falling. However, the district court dismissed the plaintiff’s claims on summary judgment because the Pepsi merchandiser testified that the spill happened in one area of the store based on pictures and the plaintiff testified that she fell in a different area based on the same pictures.
