THE FLOOR IN THE BATHROOM WHERE PLAINTIFF SLIPPED AND FELL HAD RECENTLY BEEN MOPPED; THE DEFENDANT GROCERY STORE DID NOT PROVE THERE WAS AN ADEQUATE WARNING; DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined defendant grocery store’s motion for summary judgment in this slip and fall case should not have been granted. The bathroom floor where plaintiff fell had been mopped recently. There were questions of fact whether there was an adequate warning about the condition of the floor:

The evidence submitted by the defendants in support of the motion raised triable issues of fact as to whether Food Parade provided any warning about a potentially hazardous condition in the bathroom and whether any warning that was provided adequately gave notice that there was a hazardous condition inside the bathroom … . Darginsky v Food Parade, Inc., 2023 NY Slip Op 03222, Second Dept 6-14-23

Practice Point: Here plaintiff slipped and fell on a recently mopped floor. Defendant did not demonstrate there was an adequate warning of the condition. Defendant’s motion for summary judgment should not have been granted.
