QUESTION OF FACT WHETHER SNOW-REMOVAL CONTRACTOR CREATED THE ICE CONDITION WHERE PLAINTIFF FELL.

The Third Department, in this slip and fall case, determined Inland, the owner of the shopping mall where plaintiff fell on ice, raised a question of fact whether the snow removal contractor, Hayes Paving, created the dangerous condition (i.e., launched an instrument of harm) by piling ice near a building which subsequently melted and refroze:

… [W]e conclude that a question of fact exists as to whether Hayes Paving negligently created a dangerous condition by piling chunks of ice against the Staples store building which, thereafter, melted and refroze into the patch of ice upon which plaintiff allegedly slipped … . Thus, Hayes Paving was not entitled to dismissal of Inland's third-party claim for contribution. Hannigan v Staples, Inc., 2016 NY Slip Op 02506, 3rd Dept 3-31-16
