Description
HOOD, Associate Judge. At the trial below plaintiff's evidence showed the following. Plaintiff was shopping in defendant's department store, and after making some purchases went to the lunchroom in the basement floor. She walked to the lunch counter, put her packages on the counter, looked at the menu above the counter, and then attempted to seat herself on a stool without observing that the seat of the stool had been removed. As a consequence she fell backwards and her thigh was caught in a hook attached to the post of the stool. The hook inflicted a wound on her leg which required ten stitches. Defendant offered no evidence and the case was submitted to the jury on the plaintiff's evidence. A verdict in defendant's favor was returned and plaintiff has appealed.
