The plaintiff was injured in a slip and fall on snow accumulated near a curb in a commercial parking lot.
The property owner and the snow removal contractor brought motions for summary judgment to dismiss the action.
Applying the framework from Hryniak v. Mauldin, the court found a genuine issue requiring a trial regarding the property owner's liability, as there were questions about the parking lot design and the adequacy of the snow removal plan.
However, the court granted summary judgment dismissing the claims against the snow removal contractor, finding it had fulfilled its contractual obligations.
