Q: if a 24 hour Walgreen did not set their parking lot timer back when time change in that state for a week and the parking
lot light went off early one morning before day light it was still dark and someone slip and fell on ice is that gross negligence?
A: Not gross negleigence, Some courts would say if a person walked in the dark without a flashlight then that that is gross negligence.Further, why wasn't that person on the sidewalk, why were they cutting through the parking lot? But if you were hurt then you need to talk to a meber of the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association--they give free consultations.You may well have a claim--just not one for gross negligence.
A: Definitely not gross negligence, but possibly negligence. Indiana is a comparative negligence state. It would certainly be advisable to consult with one or more personal injury lawyers.
