DEFENDANT’S UNSUPPORTED ALLEGATION THAT PLAINTIFF STOPPED SUDDENLY WAS NOT ENOUGH TO DEFEAT PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN THIS REAR END COLLISION CASE (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department noted that defendant driver’s allegation that plaintiff driver stopped suddenly in this rear end collision case was not sufficient to create a question of fact:

… [T]he plaintiff demonstrated his prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law on the issue of liability by averring that he was stopped at a red light for 45 seconds before the defendant’s vehicle struck the plaintiff’s vehicle in the rear… . In opposition, the defendant averred that the accident occurred after the plaintiff made a sudden stop in the middle of the road. However, the defendant did not submit any evidence as to the distance he had maintained from the plaintiff’s vehicle, or the speed at which he was traveling, prior to the collision. Without such evidence, the assertion that the plaintiff’s vehicle came to a sudden stop was insufficient to rebut the inference that the defendant was negligent … . Auguste v Jeter, 2018 NY Slip Op 08274, Second Dept 12-5-18
