PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT ON WHICH PLAINTIFF’S SON WAS INJURED, ACCORDING TO EXPERT EVIDENCE, WAS IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS, WAS PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND WAS NONHAZARDOUS, DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN GRANTED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined defendants’ motion for summary judgment in this playground equipment injury case should have been granted. Plaintiff’s son was injured when his leg was caught in a gap between two platforms:

… [T]he defendants submitted, inter alia, an expert affidavit, which established, prima facie, that the playground apparatus was not in violation of any relevant statutes or safety guidelines, that it was maintained in a reasonably safe condition, that the platforms were nonhazardous, and that the gaps between the platforms did not violate any applicable guidelines or standards … . In opposition, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact. Valenzuela v Metro Motel, LLC, 2019 NY Slip Op 01639, Second Dept 3-6-19
