Allen v. Slim Pickens Enterprises

Cowboy singer Rex Allen (Allen), then on his honeymoon, stopped at the Boulder Lake, Wyoming cabin of his long-time friend, Slim Pickens (Pickens). By association in prior years, Pickens had extended an open invitation to Allen to visit at any time and had apparently told Allen where the house key was secreted. Failing to find the key and falling on overgrown grass in the steps of the unoccupied cabin, Allen suffered injury which ultimately resulted in the loss of sight in one eye. Within this relationship and following the severe slip and fall injury, we are presented with a summary judgment denial of damage.
