PLAINTIFF WALKED INTO THE REAR OF A TRACTOR TRAILER WHICH WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN, DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN GRANTED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined defendants’ (truck owner’s and driver’s) motion for summary judgment in this pedestrian traffic accident case should have been granted. Plaintiff was injured by the rear portion of a tractor trailer which had completed 85% of a right turn:

… [T]he plaintiff allegedly was walking on a sidewalk … . After she stepped off the sidewalk onto the street, her right foot came into contact with the rear of a tractor-trailer that was making a right turn. … The plaintiff allegedly did not see the tractor-trailer prior to the impact. …

… [T]he plaintiff was the sole proximate cause of the accident … . The evidence … established that the plaintiff failed to see what was there to be seen and walked into the path of the rear of the tractor-trailer. Faulknor v Gina’s Trucking, Inc., 2018 NY Slip Op 01045, Second Dept 2-14-18
