A fire-safety statute requires hotel stairwell doors to remain closed so smoke will not spread during a fire. A hotel propped one stairwell door open with a heavy rubber doorstop while a maintenance employee carried tools through the hallway. A guest walking in the hallway tripped over the doorstop and broke her ankle. No fire or smoke was involved.
How should the court treat the hotel's statutory violation in the guest's negligence action for the tripping injury?

Choose the Best Answer

The violation defeats the guest's claim because the guest should have known hotels use doorstops. The violation does not establish negligence per se for the tripping injury because the statute was aimed at fire and smoke hazards, not tripping over doorstops. The violation establishes duty but never breach. The violation cannot be considered at all because building-safety statutes never affect civil negligence claims.
