Linda was a guest in the Mardell Hotel. While walking across the hotel lobby, Linda slipped and fell on the wet floor and broke her leg. Linda required surgery to repair the broken leg. Just prior to Linda’s fall, the hotel floor had been washed by the maintenance staff. The staff had placed a “wet floor” sign on the lobby floor.
