Question:

A blind employee who worked at an Acme grocery store was walking to the back to the store, using his white aluminum guide cane. Campisi was walking down another aisle, around a corner, and tripped over the cane, suffering injuries. She sued Acme for premises liability based on negligence. The jury awarded $115,000 in damages.
The trial judge granted Acme judgment notwithstanding the verdict. Campisi appealed.

1. The appeals court held that the patrons of a store have a duty to watch for hazards that can cause them to fall, including the cane of a blind person.
What would be an example of a hazard that would be more likely to be the fault of the store?
2. Would posting a sign telling patrons there is a blind person working at the store be likely to make it safer for the customers and the worker?
