Wet Entrance, Open Door: Why the Ruling Against a Supermarket Is More Than a Damages Case

Answer

Is a warning sign enough if the floor is wet in a Mallorca shop?

Not always. In the Palma case, the court considered the lack of a warning sign one of several problems, but the bigger issue was that the entrance was still unsafe despite the rain. A sign can help, but it does not replace proper prevention if customers are likely to slip.
