Kiera Isgrig v. Trustees of Indiana University
24S-CT-158
Civil tort. Reverses Monroe Circuit Court Judge Geoffrey Bradley’s order granting summary judgment for the Trustees of Indiana University against Kiera Isgrig’s complaint alleging negligence by the university and asserting res ipsa loquitur. Finds that the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur may be applied to premises liability cases involving fixtures where an invitee is injured on a landowner’s premises. Also finds that Isgrig has demonstrated a genuine issue of material fact to overcome summary judgment. Remands for further proceedings. Justice Derek Molter dissents with separate opinion in which Justice Geoffrey Slaughter joins. Attorney for appellant: Timothy Devereux. Attorneys for appellee: Angela Della Rocco, Amy Fisher. Attorneys for amicus curiae: Lucy Dollens, Robert Palmer.
