DEFENDANT’S FEIGNED ISSUE OF FACT DID NOT RAISE A QUESTION OF FACT IN THE PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC ACCIDENT CASE (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined defendant had raised a feigned issue which did not raise a question of fact in this pedestrian traffic accident case:

The plaintiff established her prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law on the issue of liability through her own affidavit, which demonstrated that she was walking within a crosswalk, with the pedestrian signal in her favor, when the defendants’ vehicle failed to yield the right-of-way and struck her … .

In opposition, the defendants failed to raise a triable issue of fact. Edelstein’s affidavit contradicted his admission immediately following the accident, as reflected in a police accident report. This affidavit was a belated attempt to avoid the consequences of his earlier admission by raising a feigned issue and was insufficient to raise a triable issue of fact … . Gooden v EAN Holdings, LLC, 2020 NY Slip Op 08043, Second Dept 12-30-20
