In February 2008, plaintiff slipped and fell down a stairway while lowering a hand truck to deliver cases of beer to a storage cellar below a grocery store.

The cellar was inaccessible from inside the store, and the only way to enter or exit it was to open two metal doors that, when closed, lay flush with the sidewalk and covered the stairway.
