EXPERT EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY ABOUT THE COLOR OF THE ICE RAISED ISSUES OF FACT ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF A HAZARDOUS CONDITION AND NOTICE IN THIS SLIP AND FALL CASE (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department determined plaintiff raised a question of fact in this sidewalk slip and fall case. Defendant presented evidence the sidewalk was clear. Plaintiff presented climatological expert evidence as well as evidence the ice was brown and dirty, indicating it had been there long enough to be noticed:

… [P]laintiff raised triable issues of fact as to whether a hazardous icy condition existed and whether defendant had notice of that condition. Plaintiff's climatological expert opined, after reviewing relevant climatological reports, that snow had ceased falling two days before plaintiff's accident, but snow and ice would have remained on the ground in untreated areas on the morning of his accident, thus giving defendant sufficient time to discover and remedy the hazardous ice condition … . Plaintiff also testified that before he fell he saw ice covering part of the sidewalk. He described the ice that he saw after his fall as “[b]rownish” and “dirty,” thereby raising issues as to whether the icy condition had been on the sidewalk long enough to clear it before the accident … .Furthermore, contrary to defendant's contentions, plaintiff identified the cause of his fall, since he testified that he saw ice on the ground when he looked sideways, when he fell, face down, onto it … . Jones v New York City Hous.
