In response, the Girons argue that the evidence adduced at trial was sufficient to prove that the railing was an unreasonably dangerous condition, and that this, along with the condition of the porch floorboards, proximately caused Cayetano’s fall. Significantly, they emphasize that an abundance of evidence supporting Bailey’s negligence exists beyond the fitness of the railing itself, including the rotted porch floor and the failure to repair this condition or to warn the tenants about this condition, all of which contributed directly to Cayetano’s losing his footing, his subsequent fall into the railing, and ultimately, his fall to the sidewalk.
