ACTION ALLEGING INJURY FROM A FALLING TREE ON DEFENDANT’S PROPERTY SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISMISSED, DEFENDANT DEMONSTRATED A LACK OF NOTICE OF THE CONDITION OF THE TREE (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined a lawsuit alleging injury from a falling tree on defendant’s property should have been dismissed. Defendant property owner (Alice) demonstrated a lack of notice of the condition of the tree:

“In cases involving fallen trees, a property owner will only be held liable if [she or] he knew or should have known of the defective condition of the tree” … . “Constructive notice in such a case can be imputed if the record establishes that a reasonable inspection would have revealed the dangerous condition of the tree” … . Here, Alice established her prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by submitting evidence that she lacked actual or constructive notice of the alleged defective condition of the tree … . Pagan v Jordan, 2018 NY Slip Op 05477, Second Dept 7-25-18
