Vaccaro v. University of Massachusetts Memorial Medical Center

Lu, John T., J.

INTRODUCTION

The plaintiff, Sara Vaccaro (Vaccaro), allegedly slipped on a wet floor in front of the registration area on defendant University of Massachusetts Memorial Medical Center’s (the hospital) property and was injured. Vaccaro brings a claim for negligence against the hospital and the hospital moves for summary judgment. Finding that there are no material issues of fact as to the hospital’s lack of notice, and that the conditions of the premises, due to their use in wet weather, could not reasonably have been prevented, the court allows the motion for summary judgment.
