Marin v. Carl Karcher Enterprises, Inc.
Plaintiff tripped on a metal doorstop while exiting a defendant's restaurant and suffered injuries requiring three surgeries.
Plaintiff appeals from an order granting defendant's summary judgment motion. (Code Civ. Proc., S 437c.) She argues there was a triable issue of material fact about whether the doorstop constitutes a trivial defect. Based on our independent review, court hold there was no triable issue of material fact. As a matter of law, the doorstop, either one half inch or one and one half inches tall, was a trivial defect.
