Negligence

NO DUTY TO KEEP BUS STEPS FREE OF TRACKED IN WATER DURING RAINSTORM.

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined that defendant bus company did not have a duty to keep the entry steps free of tracked in water during a rainstorm. Plaintiff slipped and fell on the steps while attempting to board the bus:

​

Plaintiff’s claim that Swift River negligently allowed a slippery condition to persist on the stairs leading into the bus was precluded, as a matter of law, by plaintiff’s testimony that it was raining at the time of the accident … . “Defendant is not obligated to provide a constant remedy for the tracking of water onto a bus during an ongoing storm” … , and here, the evidence showed that plaintiff was the last of a group of people to board the bus during the rainstorm … . Collins v Nate Tours Bus Co., 2017 NY Slip Op 02739. 1st Dept 4-6-17
