1Opinion of the Court
GOLDBERG, Judge.
Jason Ray slipped and fell on a small puddle of undiluted liquid handsoap in a public restroom of a Wal-Mart store in Minot, North Dakota. As a result of his fall, Ray now suffers from two permanent vision disorders, and he is no longer physically qualified to perform his former job as an air traffic controller for the United States Air Force. Ray brought this diversity action against Wal-Mart to recover damages for his injuries, claiming that Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (“Wal-Mart”) caused the accident when it failed to take reasonable steps to keep the restroom hazard-free.
