RAISED METAL PLATE IN SIDEWALK DEEMED A NONACTIONABLE TRIVIAL DEFECT IN THIS SLIP AND FALL CASE (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department determined the negligence claim against the state in this slip and fall case was properly dismissed after trial. The raised metal plate in the sidewalk was deemed a trivial defect, not a dangerous condition:

The evidence at trial established that the incident occurred on a clear, sunny day, that claimant saw the readily apparent steel plate, and that the height differential between the steel plate and the sidewalk was small. Graham v State of New York, 2018 NY Slip Op 03294, Fourth Dept 5-4-18
