Danzig v. Virgin Isle Hotel, Inc.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
Danzig v. Virgin Isle Hotel, Inc., 4 V.I. 236 (3d Cir. 1961)
286 F.2d 960; 1961 U.S. App. LEXIS 5430

Danzig v. Virgin Isle Hotel, Inc.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM

This is an appeal from a judgment for the plaintiff in an action brought to recover for personal injuries claimed to have been suffered from a fall in defendant’s hotel. The parties are not in dispute about the principle of law which governs such a case and each agrees with the general statement of the obligation of the proprietor of premises to a business guest found in the Restatement of Torts. The disputed point is whether there was sufficient evidence of violation of the duty of care to justify a jury verdict for the plaintiff. It is not a very strong case but we think there is enough to justify its submission to a jury. It was so submitted and the jury decided for. the plaintiff. .

The judgment will be affirmed.
