STUDENT INJURED HORSING AROUND IN GYM CLASS, SCHOOL’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED.

The Second Department determined summary judgment should not have been granted to the school in this negligent supervision case. Plaintiff was injured while horsing around during gym class:

At the beginning of gym class, prior to attendance being taken, the infant plaintiff ran toward a fellow classmate, placed his hands on his shoulders, and jumped over him. The classmate asked the infant plaintiff to do it again, and the infant plaintiff jumped over the classmate again, without incident. The classmate then asked the infant plaintiff to jump over him once again, and when the infant plaintiff attempted to do so, “something popped” in his knee, which caused him to fall to the gym floor and allegedly sustain an injury. At the time of the incident, two teachers were nearby; however, neither saw the incident occur. The infant plaintiff stated that about four to five minutes elapsed between the first and third time he jumped over his classmate. A teacher, however, stated that class began at 1:11 p.m., and that the incident occurred at approximately 1:20 p.m. * * *

“Schools are under a duty to adequately supervise the students in their charge and they will be held liable for foreseeable injuries proximately related to the absence of adequate supervision” … . Contrary to the defendant’s contention, it failed to establish, prima facie, that it adequately supervised the plaintiff or that, even if it had, the incident occurred in such a short span of time that it could not have been prevented by the most intense supervision … . Cruz-Martinez v Brentwood Union Free Sch. Dist., 2017 NY Slip Op 00626, 2nd Dept 2-1-17
