Evidence, Negligence

EXPERT AFFIDAVIT STATING PLAINTIFF PEDESTRIAN DID NOT LOOK FOR TRAFFIC BEFORE CROSSING WAS SPECULATIVE AND DID NOT RAISE A QUESTION OF FACT, PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT PROPERLY GRANTED IN THIS TRAFFIC ACCIDENT CASE (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined an expert affidavit, saying the plaintiff pedestrian did not look for traffic before starting across the street, was speculative and did not raise a question of fact. Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment properly granted:

The plaintiff testified that she looked in both directions and saw no vehicles. When the pedestrian signal changed in her favor, she waited “a bit,” looked around to her right and left three to four times, and then started walking while looking around as she walked. She had taken about 10 steps before the subject accident occurred. She did not see the defendants' vehicle prior to impact. The defendant driver testified at his deposition that he started his right turn and did not realize there was an accident until he felt contact, and heard his front-seat passenger yell that someone was there. He admitted that he never saw the plaintiff prior to contact with the front of his vehicle. He was cited for the traffic violation of failing to yield the right-of-way, and pleaded guilty to that violation.

In opposition, the defendants submitted the affidavit of an expert, stating that in his opinion, the plaintiff did not stop and wait for the light, and she did not look to the left or the right. Yuemei Wu v Automotive Rentals, Inc., 2018 NY Slip Op 00192, Second Dept 1-10-18
