Your firm represents the Gilberts. Last week the Gilberts went out to dinner at a fashionable lakeshore restaurant. After dinner, they decided to take a stroll down a boardwalk that leads from the restaurant out onto a pier. The walkway was not lighted. About halfway down the pier Ms. Gilbert stepped p. 253 p. 254 on a board that gave way due to dry rot. She fell and was seriously injured. About five years ago the restaurant, which owns the pier, decided it was too expensive to keep up with the necessary repairs and had done nothing to maintain the pier since. The restaurant owners posted a sign near the entry to the pier that said "Danger."
