Negligence

PLAINTIFF DID NOT RAISE A QUESTION OF FACT ON ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE OF THE BLACK ICE IN THIS SLIP AND FALL CASE, DEFENDANT’S SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN GRANTED 2ND DEPT.

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined plaintiff did not raise a question of fact about whether defendant had actual or or constructive notice of the black ice which caused plaintiff to fall. There was precipitation earlier on the day plaintiff fell:

“A property owner will be held liable for a slip-and-fall accident involving snow and ice on its property only when it created the dangerous condition which caused the accident or had actual or constructive notice of its existence” … . Here, the defendant established its prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by demonstrating that the black ice that allegedly caused the plaintiff to fall developed as a result of precipitation that fell on the day of the accident, and that the defendant did not create or have actual or constructive notice of the existence of the black ice… . Contrary to the plaintiff’s contention, the Supreme Court properly considered her deposition transcript in determining the motion … . In opposition, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether the black ice was the product of a prior storm … . Vozzo v Fairfield Westlake Sq., LLC, 2017 NY Slip Op 05868, 2nd Dept 7-25-17
