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? Which tort would be applicable and why?
Target will be liable because this condition was not rear and quite foreseeable. Employs should have taken care of the display as it is quite possible that lemonade may fall from the display.
The tort of delictum/ delict could be applied because the injuries were caused to Russel due to the negligence of duty of the employees of target.
