Description
The plaintiffs have appealed from a judgment for the defendants entered upon a jury's verdict. The plaintiff Hilda M. Hardy claims to have fallen and sustained injuries because of the defendants' negligence in placing and maintaining a mat outside the doorway of the defendant Benjamin Weitzman's store, which is located in a building owned by the defendant Fay Weitzman. The defendants denied that they were negligent and in a special defense alleged that Hilda was chargeable with contributory negligence. The plaintiffs claimed that Hilda tripped over the upturned corner of the mat and that the defendants knew, or should have known, of the danger caused by the mat to persons entering the store. They concede that the court charged the jury correctly on this phase of the case.
