Stephanie Maniscalco//September 19, 2012//
Listen to this articleWhere a plaintiff twisted her ankle in the uneven parking lot of a store that leased the premises, photos of the area showed a cracked surface, and despite the lease, the store admitted that its employees inspected the lot and fixed potholes at its own expense, so summary judgment for the defendant store is reversed and remanded since genuine issues exist as to control of the accident site, existence of a dangerous condition and causation.
Judgment is reversed and remanded.
