Question

When reaching for a bottle of lemonade from a display of lemonade bottles inside a Target store, Russell slipped where a very small puddle of lemonade had spilled next to the display and fell on the floor. In the fall, Russell broke his ankle and leg and required months of treatment for his injuries. None of the Target store employees were aware of the lemonade on the floor before Russell slipped on it. Will Target be liable

Answer 1

Answered from a general legal perspective.

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is that we are told Target employees were not aware that lemonade had spilled on the floor.

Hence, they (Target) cannot legally answer for the injuries resulting from Russell's fall since they can claim ignorance to the threat post by the "small puddle of lemonade... on the floor."
