Eltricia Laree Cook v. Gary Lynn Fuqua et al.

Case Number
M2021-00107-COA-R3-CV

A woman sued a homeowner for negligence due to injuries she sustained when a pot-bellied pig maintained on the homeowner’s property jumped on her and knocked her off of the homeowner’s front porch. The homeowner filed a motion for summary judgment arguing that he did not owe the woman a duty of reasonable care because she was a trespasser.  The trial court granted the motion for summary judgment, and the woman appealed.  Determining that genuine issues of material fact still exist because the homeowner failed to establish that the woman was a trespasser, we reverse the trial court’s judgment.
