Peralta v. The Vons Companies, Inc.

The Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court's grant of summary judgment for Vons in a slip and fall action alleging negligence and premises liability claims. The court held that there was no admissible evidence to create a triable issue of material fact as to whether Vons was on constructive notice that the floor was slippery or otherwise dangerous; even if Vons did not conduct an inspection of the bakery area in the 10 to 15 minutes before the fall, plaintiffs failed to show that Vons would have discovered the condition had it conducted such an inspection; and Vons could not be held liable for failing to correct a condition it would not have discovered through the exercise of reasonable care.
