The defendants brought a motion for summary judgment dismissing a personal injury action arising from a slip and fall in a grocery store produce section.
The plaintiff alleged she slipped on water and/or ice originating from broccoli displayed on crushed ice.
The defendants argued they maintained a reasonable inspection and maintenance system and that the area had been inspected minutes before the fall.
The court held that conflicting evidence regarding the store’s drainage system, staff training, and compliance with inspection procedures created genuine issues requiring a trial.
The motion for summary judgment was therefore dismissed.
