Written Notice Prerequisite to Suit Against County Did Not Apply to Plaintiff’s Being Struck by a Traffic Signal Cable While Walking on a Sidewalk

The Second Department determined the written notice requirement for liability did not apply.  Plaintiff alleged she felt an electric shock and was struck by an cable as a nearby traffic signal was being worked on:

…[T]he plaintiff was not required to show that they received prior written notice of the alleged condition pursuant to Nassau County Administrative Code § 12-4.0(e). This provision requires prior written notice of any defective or dangerous “sidewalk, street, highway, parking field, stairway, walkway, ramp, driveway, bridge, culvert, curb or gutter.” Here, the condition that allegedly caused the injury is an electrical condition involving a traffic signal, or a traffic signal box and related cable. The subject Nassau County Administrative Code provision does not require prior written notice of that condition … . Moreno v County of Nassau, 2015 NY Slip Op 02736, 2nd Dept 4-1-15
