ALTHOUGH DEFENDANT PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF PLAINTIFF, PLAINTIFF DID NOT DEMONSTRATE FREEDOM FROM COMPARATIVE FAULT, PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment in this traffic accident case should not have been granted. Although defendant apparently pulled out in front of plaintiff, plaintiff did not demonstrate freedom from comparative fault:

… [T]he defendant failed to establish, prima facie, that the injured plaintiff’s negligence in pulling out of a curbside parking spot was the sole proximate cause of the accident and that the defendant was free from comparative fault … . In particular, the defendant failed to eliminate triable issues of fact as to whether she failed to see what was there to be seen through the proper use of her senses and to use reasonable care to avoid a collision … . Inesta v Florio, 2018 NY Slip Op 01455, Second Dept 3-7-18
