Just recently I spoke to a couple where the wife had slipped on a wet garage floor and broke her arm. It was the day before they were to leave for a long anticipated holiday in Hawaii.
Another incident was when a woman invited her friend over for a drink and dinner. When the friend was leaving at the end of the night, she slipped on the wet steps at the front of the woman’s home.
