“Wheel Stop” in Parking Lot Does Not Present an Unreasonable Risk of Harm

In this slip and fall case, the Second Department determined that a “wheel stop” or concrete divider in a parking lot is an open and obvious condition that does not present an unreasonable risk of harm:

While a landowner has a duty to maintain its premises in a reasonably safe manner for its patrons …, there is no duty to protect or warn against an open and obvious condition that is not inherently dangerous … . Generally “[a] wheel stop or concrete parking lot divider which is clearly visible presents no unreasonable risk of harm” … . Bellini v Gypsy Magic Enters Inc, 2013 NY Slip Op 08581, 2nd Dept 12-26-13
