THE COMPLAINT ALLEGED THE ICY CONDITION EXISTED BEFORE 10 INCHES OF SNOW FELL, DEFENDANTS DID NOT DEMONSTRATE THEY DID NOT HAVE NOTICE OF THE ICE, DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN THIS SLIP AND FALL CASE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined defendants’ motion for summary judgment in this slip and fall case should not have been granted. Plaintiff alleged the icy condition existed before the snow fell and defendants didn’t demonstrate a lack of notice of the icy condition:

Although it is undisputed that about 10 inches of snow fell about two hours before the … accident, Supreme Court should have denied [defendants’] summary judgment because their submissions failed to address the complaint’s allegations that the ice was on the sidewalk before that storm and that they received notice that it was there. Specifically, they failed to present evidence from someone with knowledge as to whether either entity received a complaint about the location before the storm commenced and the area’s condition before the new precipitation fell. Wolf v St. Vincent’s Catholic Med. Ctrs. of N.Y., 2019 NY Slip Op 03293, First Dept 4-30-19
