tripping hazard which existed prior to Employee’s encounter.

Image 5: Depicts the left, side-edge of Employee’s left foot adjacent to the raised edge of detached duct tape, immediately before her left foot is caught on the raised edge as she takes a

step.

Page 6: Jay Kerr Law: Premises Liability

Image 6: As she takes a step, the left-edge of her shoe is caught by the raised-edge of detached duct tape. As evident on the video, her left shoe “rolls” slightly due to her body momentum over the brief capture of her foot by the detached edge of duct tape, causing her to lose her

balance and fall.

Image 7: After her left shoe edge contacts the section of raised duct tape, it causes the tape seam to detach further and furl more narrowly.

Image 8: Unable to regain her balance, Employee falls to her left side, injuring her left arm.

Image 9: This image depicts the further detachment of the duct tape from the seam, in contrast to its condition prior to contact by the left-edge of Employee’s shoe (see image 3).
