Raflo v. the Losantiville Country Club

Paul W. Brown, J. Leighton v. Hower Corp., supra, involved a substantially identical fact situation. There, the plaintiff fell while leaving the toilet area by way of a door which opened immediately onto a step which plaintiff had ascended when she entered the toilet area a short time before. To plaintiff's claim, that she was temporarily oblivious of the presence of the step at the time of her fall, this court responded that a fall under such circumstances showed a want of due care upon her part, and affirmed final judgment for the defendant awarded by the Court of Appeals.
