Answer:Judy will recover because she suffered an injury that the statute was intended to protect her against.

Explanation:

The state is bound by the law to ensure that public places which are constantly used by the citizens are maintained and kept in safe conditions.

It has to ensure that the businesses that operates in those places also adhere to safety measures and make sure that nothing put citizens in a position where they can get injured whilst using those places.
