Jon, an employee of the bank, carelessly left the rake next to the sidewalk, creating a dangerous condition for customers. As a result, the bank may be held liable for Deb's injuries under the principle of premises liability, as the bank has a duty to ensure the safety of its customers. It is not relevant whether or not Deb used due care, as the bank's negligence was the proximate cause of the injury.
