Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

STONE, J.

We affirm the final judgment rendered on a directed verdict in favor of the White-hursts.

Rice was injured while a guest in White-hursts' home. She had entered the home through the front door, walked straight ahead, and fell as she stepped from the foyer into a sunken living room. Rice sued, claiming that a change in floor levels caused her to fall. However, she offered no expert testimony as to uncommon design or mode of construction.
