resuelve la siguiente pregunta:
Alex, a California resident, visits a large shopping plaza that is open to the general public and privately owned by a local real estate group. While walking in the outdoor common area, Alex steps on a loose brick in the walkway, causing him to lose balance and fall down a short flight of steps. As a result, he suffers a broken wrist and a mild head injury. Further investigation reveals that this loose brick had been reported several times by other patrons, but the property owner had yet to make repairs. Alex is considering a negligence lawsuit against the property owner for failing to maintain the walkway in a reasonably safe condition. Your task is to identify and discuss the elements that Alex must prove to establish the property owner's liability for his injuries.

Application:
Apply the rules to the facts provided, analyzing each element individually.

Additional Elements for Analysis:
1. Identify a defense the property owner might raise regarding foreseeability or the reasonableness of maintenance efforts, and explain how you would respond to this defense.
2. Discuss whether Alex’s injuries may be considered “reasonably foreseeable” under the circumstances, using at least one cited California case to support your position.
