Appellant Anne Lytle suffered substantial injuries after she slipped on a plastic bag on the floor in the check-out aisle of Respondent Bi-Lo's store. Lytle and her husband brought a personal injury action against Bi-Lo. Bi-Lo denied that it was liable for the injuries Lytle sustained and filed a motion for summary judgment, contending there was no evidence to show it had actual or constructive knowledge that the grocery bag was on the floor prior to Lytle's fall. After a hearing, the trial court granted Bi-Lo's motion. On appeal, Lytle and her husband argue the trial court erred in granting Bi-Lo's motion for summary judgment because there was a genuine issue of material fact regarding whether Bi-Lo created or had knowledge of the dangerous condition that injured Lytle.
