Slip and Fall Case

In Cates v. Dillard Dept. Stores, Inc., No. 09-31193, an action against a department store after plaintiff slipped and fell, alleging that her fall was caused by a plastic “wet floor” sign that an employee had negligently left in a high-traffic area of the store, the court reversed summary judgment for defendant where there was a genuine issue of material fact as to whether defendant created an unreasonable risk of harm and whether it failed to exercise reasonable care.
