ALLEGATION THAT CHAIN OVER WHICH PLAINTIFF TRIPPED AND FELL WAS OPEN AND OBVIOUS RELATES TO PLAINTIFF’S COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE WHICH DOES NOT PRECLUDE SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN PLAINTIFF’S FAVOR (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department determined plaintiff was entitled to summary judgment in this slip and fall case. Plaintiff tripped over a yellow plastic chain lying on the ground. Because plaintiff need not show freedom from comparative fault, the allegation that the chain was open and obvious did not preclude summary judgment:

… [P]laintiff was not required to demonstrate his own freedom from comparative negligence to be entitled to summary judgment as to defendant’s liability (see Rodriguez v City of New York, ___ NY3d ___, 2018 NY Slip Op 02287 [2018]). For this reason, we also reject defendant’s argument that the chain on which plaintiff tripped was open and obvious, since that issue too is relevant to comparative fault and does not preclude summary resolution of the issue of defendant’s liability … . Derix v Port Auth. of N.Y. & N.J., 2018 NY Slip Op 04507, First Dept 6-19-18
