Plaintiff argued that the shopping center had multiple violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act and North Carolina Accessibility Code which caused Plaintiff to trip and fall over a curb. Katie successfully argued that Plaintiff was contributorily negligent at the time of her fall and that any alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act or North Carolina Accessibility Code did not proximately cause Plaintiff’s fall.
