- Q. Metal piece on the sides of the columns in Walmart fell on my daughters face and cut/scratched her.
- A: Because it is a business premises, the liability of the store is based upon the duty that it owes to the person who was injured. In this case, since the families were o the premises as customers, they are business invitees and are owed the highest degree of care. The piece that was used to secure the area that fell was missing screws and was not properly secured. This could not be known by the customer. Therefore, the store breached its duty of care.
