INCIDENT REPORTS DID NOT PROVIDE THE CITY WITH NOTICE OF THE ESSENTIAL FACTS OF PLAINTIFF’S NEGLIGENCE AND LABOR LAW CLAIMS, PETITION TO FILE A LATE NOTICE OF CLAIM PROPERLY DENIED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined the incident reports concerning plaintiff’s injury when he was struck by a chain link fence he was installing did not provide the city with notice of the essential elements of his negligence and Labor Law claims. Therefore the petition for leave to file a late notice of claim was properly denied:

… [T]he incident reports … were insufficient to provide the respondents with actual knowledge of the essential facts underlying the petitioner’s claim. These reports merely indicated that the petitioner injured his shoulder when the temporary chain link fence was blown over by the wind or came down on him as he was working on the fence. The reports made no reference to the claims listed in the proposed notice of claim, inter alia, that the respondents were negligent in allowing a dangerous condition to exist, in failing to provide protective and safety devices, and in failing to properly secure or hoist the fence, and violated certain sections of the Labor Law and unspecified sections of the Industrial Code … .

Furthermore, the petitioner failed to proffer any excuse for the failure to serve a timely notice of claim … . Moreover, the petitioner presented no “evidence or plausible argument” that his delay in serving a notice of claim did not substantially prejudice the respondents in defending on the merits … . Matter of Wilson v City of New York, 2018 NY Slip Op 02794, Second Dept 4-25-18
