Spady v. Acme Mkts., PICS Case No. 16-1530 (C.P. Philadelphia Sept. 8, 2016) Anders, J. (15 pages).

Plaintiff who suffered injuries from a fall on an isolated pile of snow and ice sought to claim negligence against the owner of the business and the snow removal company, but admitted awareness of a danger-free path he could have taken but didn’t. Defendants moved for summary judgment and the trial court granted it. Plaintiff appealed, and the court reviewed its findings for the appellate court, including several comparable examples from case law.
