QUESTION OF FACT WHETHER DEFENDANT BUS COMPANY HAD NOTICE OF A PUDDLE OF HYDRAULIC FLUID ON THE FLOOR OF THE BUS IN THIS SLIP AND FALL CASE (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department noted that the cause of action alleging defendant bus company had notice of the presence of hydraulic fluid on the floor of the bus, which caused plaintiff to slip and fall, properly survived defendants’ motion for summary judgment. There was a video from inside the bus which appeared to show that the puddle of fluid had been “tracked through” before plaintiff boarded the bus:

” [V]iew[ing] the evidence in the light most favorable to the party opposing the motion, [and] giving that party the benefit of every reasonable inference’ ” … , we conclude that there is a triable issue of fact because the evidence of the size of the puddle and that the puddle had been “tracked through” before any passengers boarded the bus following the layover constitutes circumstantial evidence that would permit a jury to infer that the puddle had existed for a sufficient length of time for defendants to have discovered and remedied it … . Mills v Niagara Frontier Transp. Auth., 2018 NY Slip Op 05098, Fourth Dept 7-6-18
