Description
¶1. Shirley Byrne appeals from a summary judgment motion granted by the Wayne County Circuit Court in favor of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (Wal-Mart) and Andrew Lightsey. On November 2, 2000, Byrne filed a premises liability lawsuit against Wal-Mart and two of its employees, Andrew Lightsey and Jane Doe, to recover for injuries she allegedly sustained when she slipped on an unidentified substance, thought to be a cookie, causing injury to her back and knee. On June 17, 2002, a motion for summary judgment was made by the defendants. The trial court granted the summary judgment after it determined that Byrne failed to show either that Wal-Mart caused her injury through its own negligence or that Wal-Mart had actual or constructive knowledge of the cookie's being on the floor. From the trial court's grant of Wal-Mart's summary judgment motion, Byrne appeals and raises three issues.
