PLAINTIFFS ENTITLED TO SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN THIS REAR-END COLLISION CASE, SUPREME COURT REVERSED (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined that plaintiffs (the Rothchilds) were entitled to summary judgment in this rear-end collision case:

The record shows that the accident occurred in heavy, stop-and-go traffic, and DeSouza [defendant] testified to driving three-to-five miles per hour for at least 10 minutes prior to the accident, that he observed cars immediately in front of the Rothchilds’ vehicle, and that he did not place his foot on his brake until his moving vehicle was two feet from the Rothchilds’ back bumper. A driver is supposed to make reasonable use of his or her senses … , and maintain a safe distance from other motor vehicles (see Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1129[a]…), which was not done in this case. Miller v DeSouza, 2018 NY Slip Op 07065, First Dept 10-23-18
