Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, Division One.

February 27, 1990.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Ray B. Marglous, James E. Lownsdale, Clayton, for appellants.

Kurt S. Odenwald, St. Louis, for Sears.

George F. Kosta, St. Louis, for Otis.


CRIST, Judge.

This personal injury action arose out of plaintiff Geraldine Hargan's fall on an escalator. She claims her fall was caused by an optical illusion which resulted from defendants' failure to have working footlights on an escalator. Plaintiffs appeal the exclusion of their "human factors" expert's testimony and the subsequent directed verdict in favor of defendants Sears, Roebuck and Company and Otis Elevator Company. We affirm.
