Opinion

Jordan, Presiding Judge.

In this personal injury action by an elderly woman who tripped and fell on a tool box placed on the floor of her home by an employee of the defendant corporation, who was engaged in connecting a water line to the ice maker of a refrigerator, there appear to be genuine issues of fact for jury resolution with respect to negligence and causation. The [485] trial judge did not err in denying the motion of the defendant for summary judgment.
