QUESTION OF FACT WHETHER NEGLIGENT WAXING WAS CAUSE OF PLAINTIFF’S FALL.

The First Department determined there was a question of fact whether plaintiff’s slip and fall was caused by excessive wax on the floor:

Defendants established entitlement to judgment as a matter of law in this action where plaintiff alleges that she was injured when she slipped on a floor that was negligently waxed. Defendants submitted evidence showing that the floor was last waxed approximately three months before plaintiff’s fall … . In opposition, plaintiff raised triable issues as to whether “a dangerous residue of wax was present” … . She stated that after she fell, there was wax on her hands and, when she stepped on the waxy area, she saw a “scuff mark” running through a circular area, creating a “sunken stripe through the wax.” Plaintiff slid her foot back and forth on the circular patch, and felt the “accumulated, raised, substance on the floor” move with the pressure of her foot, and these actions were captured on the building’s security footage. Sanchez v Mitsui Fudosan Am., Inc., 2017 NY Slip Op 01821, 1st Dept 3-15-17
