IN THIS REAR-END COLLISION CASE, THE DEFENDANT’S ALLEGATION HE DID NOT SEE PLAINTIFF’S BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT RAISE A QUESTION OF FACT (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined that allegation defendant did not see plaintiff’s brake lights in this rear-end collision case did not raise a question of fact about whether brake lights were not functioning:

… [T]he defendant failed to raise a triable issue of fact. Contrary to the defendant’s contention, his claim that he did not see brake lights on the plaintiffs’ vehicle prior to the collision, standing alone, was insufficient to raise a triable issue of fact as to whether an alleged malfunction of the brake lights on the plaintiffs’ vehicle proximately caused the accident … . Quintanilla v Mark, 2022 NY Slip Op 06151, Second Dept 11-2-22

Practice Point: In this rear-end collision case, the defendant’s allegation he did not see plaintiff’s brake lights did not raise a question of fact about whether the brake lights were functioning properly.
