TOWN DID NOT DEMONSTRATE IT DID NOT CREATE THE CONDITION WHICH RESULTED IN THE FORMATION OF ICE, TOWN’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN THIS SLIP AND FALL CASE PROPERLY DENIED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined the Town’s motion for summary judgment in this icy-road slip and fall case was properly denied. Although the Town demonstrated it did not have written notice of the condition, it did not demonstrate it did not create the condition:

The plaintiff alleges that he was injured when he slipped and fell on ice on a roadway in the vicinity of his residence in the Town … . He commenced this action against the Town … alleging that the Town affirmatively created, through its negligence in constructing and paving the road, a condition which allowed water to accumulate and freeze on the roadway, and that the condition caused his fall. …

In support of its motion, the Town was required to demonstrate that it did not receive prior written notice of the alleged defective condition, and that it did not create that condition through an affirmative act of negligence that permitted water to accumulate and freeze on the roadway … . The Town failed to establish … that it did not create the alleged defective condition through an affirmative act of negligence. … [T]he evidence submitted in support of its motion failed to demonstrate … that it did not negligently construct or pave the road in a manner that permitted water to accumulate and freeze on the roadway, or that it subsequently successfully repaired the alleged defective condition prior to the plaintiff’s accident … . Casciano v Town/Village of Harrison, 2018 NY Slip Op 02593, Second Dept 4-18-18
