On April 2012, Evelyn Paswall, an 83-year-old Queens resident, went to the Manhasset, New York Apple store to return her iPhone. But she left the store with more than just money for her return.

According to Paswall, the store’s front entrance and wall were completely clear. As a result, she walked directly into the clear glass doors and fractured her nose.

Npw, Paswall has filed a personal injury lawsuit against Apple, Inc. for “allowing a clear, see-through glass wall and/or door to exist without proper warning, and in causing [her] to sustain personal injury.”

Apple, Inc. filed its response to the lawsuit last week. In its response, the company denies each of Paswall’s allegations and asserts that Paswall’s claims should be “barred in whole or in part because [her] injuries were the result of an open and obvious danger or hazard known to the plaintiff.”
