MOTION TO AMEND COMPLAINT AND BILL OF PARTICULARS TO CHANGE THE DATE OF THE ALLEGED SLIP AND FALL PROPERLY DENIED (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department determined the motion to amend the complaint and bill of particulars in this slip and fall case was properly denied. Plaintiff sought to change the dare of the accident from October 12, 2012, to August 15, 2012:

Plaintiff alleges that she slipped and fell on rainwater that came in through negligently maintained windows in the hallway of defendants’ building. In support of her motion to amend, plaintiff stated that she originally alleged that the accident occurred on October 13, 2012, but that after reviewing her medical records she realized that she was mistaken and that the accident actually occurred on August 15, 2012, the day before she sought treatment at the hospital.

The motion court providently exercised its discretion in denying plaintiff’s motion, as defendants demonstrated that the delay in notifying them that plaintiff had incorrectly identified the date of the accident prejudiced their ability to investigate the incident and to defend the action using surveillance videotapes of the hallway … . Defendants showed that, after learning of plaintiff’s claim, they retrieved surveillance tapes of the alleged accident date of October 13th, which showed that no accident occurred on that date, but that they were no longer able to retrieve videotapes from August 2012 by the time plaintiff informed them of the claimed error in the pleadings. Furthermore, the August 2012 hospital record plaintiff relies upon reflects that she sought treatment from a podiatrist for an unrelated foot condition, and does not reference any fall the previous day … . Otero v Walton Ave. Assoc.
