Question:

Seventy-four years of age at the time, Ramona Booker entered a drugstore by pushing her way through one door and then through a second. Both doors were extremely heavy, so Booker was compelled to use both hands, causing her cane to drag on the ground. As she entered the second door, the tip of her cane caught on the exposed coil of a security device, causing her to fall and injure herself.

Booker brought a lawsuit against Revco DS, Inc., to recover for her injuries. Did the drugstore owe a duty to Booker and other customers to maintain a safe environment? Explain. Is Booker’s lawsuit based on allegations that the store owners committed an intentional tort or that they were negligent? Explain. What test would be used to judge whether the drugstore owners should be held liable for Booker’s injuries? Explain. Booker v. Revco DS, Inc. 681 N.E.2d 499 (OH).
