Simpson v. Tillman Furniture Company, No. 2008-CP-01449-COA (Miss. 2009)

The Mississippi Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court's decision granting Summary Judgment based on a motion by Defendant's counsel, Whitney W. Gladden and Toby J. Gammill.  Filed in Copiah County, the original premises liability case stemmed from the plaintiff falling from a chair in a furniture showroom and alleging that her present medical condition was directly attributable to that fall. Because the plaintiff had numerous pre-existing conditions and was unable to have a physician attribute her current condition to the fall, she failed to show causation and Summary Judgment was granted. The plaintiff appealed the decision which was later affirmed.
