Cassidy · Answer 1

Margaret is not able to sue the the store for anything because she wasn’t paying attention when the incident happened. Margaret was busy on the phone and carrying more than she could handle at the time. If she wasn’t distracted, she would have been able to open the door instead of walking into it. Margaret is solely at fault for the incident.
