PLAINTIFF OFFERED DIFFERENT EXPLANATIONS OF THE CAUSE OF HIS FALL, COURT HELD PLAINTIFF COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF HIS FALL, REQUIRING DISMISSAL (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined plaintiff’s action in this slip and fall case was properly dismissed. Plaintiff had offered several different allegations about the cause of his fall. The court held plaintiff was unable to identify the cause of his fall:

The defendant established its prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by demonstrating, through the submission, inter alia, of the plaintiff’s deposition testimony and amended bill of particulars, that the plaintiff could not identify the cause of his fall without engaging in speculation … . In opposition, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact. The plaintiff’s sworn statement, submitted in opposition to the defendant’s motion, that he expected the floor of the diner to be “level with the landing,” presented what appears to be a feigned issue of fact designed to avoid the consequences of his prior deposition testimony … . Pasqualoni v Jacklou Corp., 2018 NY Slip Op 06928, Second Dept 10-17-18
