DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN TRIP AND FALL CASE PROPERLY GRANTED.

The First Department, over a dissent, determined defendants were entitled to summary judgment in this slip and fall case. Plaintiff alleged he tripped over the upturned corner of a rug:

The doorman on duty testified that he observed the carpet, used when there was inclement weather, in its usual location between the door and the elevator less than an hour before the accident and that he did not notice any part of the carpet that was not lying perfectly flat in the area of the elevators … . He also testified that he did not remember having ever seen a carpet whose corners were not lying flat to the floor at any time during January 2011. Nor did he ever see anyone use tape to keep the corners of the carpet down. Defendants also pointed to plaintiff’s testimony that the first time he saw a portion of the carpet raised was when the doorman helped him after he fell … . Reeves v 1700 First Ave. LLC, 2016 NY Slip Op 06050, 1st Dept 9-15-16
