Contract Law, Negligence

IN THIS SLIP AND FALL CASE, THERE WAS NO EXPRESS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN DEFENDANT GROCERY STORE AND THE FLO0R-CLEANING DEFENDANTS AND THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE THE FLOOR-CLEANING DEFENDANTS WERE NEGLIGENT OR CAUSED THE INJURY; THEREFORE THE GROCERY STORE’S INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION ACTIONS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISMISSED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the indemnification and contribution causes of action brought by the defendant grocery store (ShopRite) against the floor-cleaning defendants (Advance and Corporate) in this slip and fall case should have been dismissed. There was no express indemnification agreement. There was no showing Advance and Corporate were negligent. Safier v Wakefern Food Corp., 2023 NY Slip Op 05413, Second Dept 10-25-23
