Hypothetical

Grant owns a duplex and rents the upper unit to Priya. After a freezing rain, ice coats the shared front walkway. Priya texts Grant twice about it; he replies he will "get to it this weekend." Before he does, Tomas, a delivery driver making a scheduled drop-off, slips on the ice and breaks his wrist. Priya, walking behind him, also falls and injures her shoulder.
