Description:
A woman was living at her friend's house for an extended period of time. One day during her stay, her friend propped a wooden gate up against the doorway between the kitchen and the living room. The woman attempted to step over the gate, but it fell-tripping her and causing her to fall and suffer injuries. She filed a premises-liability lawsuit against her friend and the friend's husband as the homeowners. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of the homeowners and dismissed the case, ruling that the gate did not constitute a dangerous condition.
