Description
This "slip and fall" case arises out of injuries plaintiff/respondent, Carl Hunt [hereinafter Hunt] sustained when he fell
in the aisle while grocery shopping at a super market. Hunt filed suit on July 2, 1987, in the Circuit Court of the City of
St. Louis, against defendant/appellant, National Super Markets, Inc. [hereinafter National]. On December 7, 1989, a jury returned
a verdict in favor of Hunt for $25,000, finding Hunt eighteen percent at fault and National eighty-two percent at fault. The
trial Judge subsequently reduced the total damage award to $20,500. Because our review involves determining whether Hunt has presented sufficient evidence to submit the question of National's
negligence to the jury, we must view the evidence presented at trial in the light most favorable to Hunt, giving him the benefit
of all reasonable inferences to be drawn therefrom. Prier v. Smitty's Supermarkets, Inc., 715 S.W.2d 579, 580 (Mo. App. 1986).
However, we are not required or permitted to supply missing evidence or to give plaintiff the benefit of unreasonable, speculative,
or forced inferences. Hayes v. National Super Markets, Inc., 612 S.W.2d 819, 821 (Mo. App. 1981).
