Plaintiff failed to prove material facts and causation: his evidence was unreliable and inconsistent, there was no direct evidence establishing how or from what height he fell or that the defendants’ conduct caused the fall, and defendants gave credible evidence that ladder use was assessed as acceptable and instructions were given that the ladder be held. On those findings, regulatory breaches and res ipsa loquitur were not established and no adverse inference was warranted; claim dismissed.
