Johnny, the owner of the Lame Duck Restaurant, has recently replaced the three steps that lead from the pavement to the front door of his restaurant with a short wooden ramp to facilitate wheelchair access. Lily is one of Johnnys repeat customers. One rainy evening as Lily is leaving the restaurant, she slips over on the wet ramp. Lily severely sprains her ankle and is unable to work for the next 2 weeks. Lily has to pay the medical bill of $1000 because she does not have Medicare. In addition, Lily has to cancel her trip to Hawaii and she has fully paid for this trip.
