MOTION TO AMEND NOTICE OF CLAIM TO CHANGE THE DATE OF THE ACCIDENT, RENDERING THE NOTICE OF CLAIM TIMELY, PROPERLY GRANTED.

The Second Department determined plaintiff’s motion to amend the notice of claim was properly granted. The slip and fall allegedly occurred around midnight on March 2/3. The notice of claim was one day late if the incident occurred on March 2 and was timely if it occurred on March 3. The amendment changed the date of the accident stated in the notice from March 2 to March 3:

Here, mere minutes constituted the difference between whether the plaintiff’s fall occurred on March 2, 2012, or March 3, 2012. Under these circumstances, the Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in granting the plaintiff’s cross motion for leave to amend the notice of claim and the pleadings to reflect March 3, 2012, as the correct date of the accident. There is no indication that the date originally set forth in the notice of claim as the accident date, March 2, 2012, was set forth in bad faith, the Transit Authority did not demonstrate any actual prejudice as a result of the discrepancy, and the record discloses no basis to presume the existence of prejudice … . Bowers v City of New York, 2017 NY Slip Op 01174, 2nd Dept 2-15-17
