We reverse the summary judgment entered in favor of the defendant property owner in a negligence claim brought by appellant, a nurse who slipped and fell in a puddle of water on defendant’s premises.
The trial court granted summary judgment on the authority of Parrish v. Matthews, 548 So.2d 725 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989). Parrish approved a summary judgment against a cleaning person hired to clean up the very condition causing her to fall. Here, although there is some dispute about appellant’s duties as a nurse, we believe there was an issue of fact as to whether appellant was sufficiently on notice to expect unsafe conditions on appellee’s premises so as to bar or diminish her claim.
