Premises Liabiity

Owner had no duty to warn of icy conditions. Wolfley v. Solectron USA, Inc., No. 07-3629 (8th Cir. 9/8/2008).

Under North Carolina law, a facility owner was not required to warn a deliveryman of a significant ice and water accumulation in a parking lot that created an open and obvious dangerous condition. The facility was closed the day before the deliveryman's accident in the parking lot due to the weather. Also, the deliveryman's truck slid on ice while entering and inside the lot. The deliveryman walked cautiously around the truck because the lot was icy, and noticed water draining across the path, as well as ice on the path, where he slipped and fell.
