WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: Jose M. Correa, et al. v. Woodman’s Food Market, et al.

Case No.: 2018AP1165

Officials: Brash, P.J., Kloppenburg and Dugan, JJ.

Focus: Sufficiency of evidence

Woodman’s Food Market appeals an order denying its motions after verdict and entering judgment based on a jury’s verdict finding that it was liable for injuries sustained by Jose Correa when he slipped and fell inside of one of its stores.

Woodman’s argues that the evidence of constructive notice of a hazard was entirely speculative and, therefore, the trial court erred by denying its motion for a directed verdict, denying its motions after verdict, and denying its motion for summary judgment. We conclude that the trial court erred in denying Woodman’s motion for a directed verdict. Therefore, we reverse and remand this matter with directions.
