Daniel G. Mann v. QuikTrip Coporation

St. Louis, Missouri personal injury lawyer represented the Plaintiff who used on a premises liablity negligence theory.



Daniel Mann was injured when he fell on a step exiting a QuikTrip store and subsequently sued QuikTrip for negligence. At trial, over Mann's objection, the district court1 permitted an affirmative defense instruction, allowing the jury to assess no fault against QuikTrip if snowy and icy conditions existed generally throughout the area and were not isolated to the location where Mann fell.

The jury found that QuikTrip was not at fault for Mann’s injury and, accordingly, that Mann would not recover any damages. Mann moved for a new trial based on instructional error, which the district court denied.
