Lord v. Gold
Lord v. Gold
Opinion of the Court
Appellant, Irene Lord, appeals from a final summary judgment in favor of appel-lee, Rose Gold, in Lord’s suit for negligence arising out of a slip and fall accident in Gold’s apartment.
We have carefully considered the record evidence of the accident and find that there are reasonable inferences emanating therefrom from which a jury could conclude that Lord was injured as a result of Gold’s negligence in allowing a slippery substance to remain on her apartment floor. Those possible inferences preclude a conclusive finding that no genuine issue of material fact exists.
Accordingly, entry of summary judgment was inappropriate and is hereby reversed and the cause is remanded for further proceedings.
