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.
