PETITIONER’S CHILD, A PRE-KINDERGARTEN STUDENT, FELL AND HIT HER HEAD, THE ACCIDENT REPORT DID NOT INFORM THE CITY OF THE ESSENTIAL FACTS OF THE NEGLIGENCE CLAIM, PETITION TO FILE LATE NOTICE OF CLAIM PROPERLY DENIED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined the petition for leave to file a late notice of claim was properly denied. Petitioner’s chlid, a pre-kindergarten student, fell and hit her head. Although a teacher filled out an accident report, the report did not inform the city of the essential facts of the negligence claim (i.e., clutter on the floor). The excuse for the delay was not sufficient and petitioner did not demonstrate the city was not prejudiced by the delay:

… [T]he petitioner failed to establish that the City acquired actual knowledge of the essential facts constituting the claim within 90 days after the child’s accident or a reasonable time thereafter. Although a teacher prepared an accident report on the day of the incident, it merely indicated that the child ran into the classroom, “slipped,” and hit her head on a table. This report did not provide the City with timely, actual knowledge of the essential facts underlying the claims later asserted—that the City was negligent in allowing clutter and debris to accumulate on the floor which caused the child to “trip,” and that it was negligent in supervising the students by failing to have a sufficient number of teachers in the classroom … . Matter of Quinones v City of New York, 2018 NY Slip Op 02630, Second Dept 4-18-18
