ALTHOUGH THE CORD WHICH ALLEGEDLY CAUSED PLAINTIFF’S SLIP AND FALL MAY HAVE BEEN OPEN AND OBVIOUS, DEFENDANTS DID NOT DEMONSTRATE IT WAS NOT INHERENTLY DANGEROUS; DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined defendants did not establish that the cord or wire over which plaintiff tripped and fell was not inherently dangerous, even if the cord was open and obvious:

The plaintiff allegedly was injured when she tripped and fell over a cord or microphone wire while attending an event at certain property purportedly owned by the defendants … . She commenced this action against the defendants and one other defendant to recover damages for personal injuries. The defendants moved for summary judgment dismissing the complaint insofar as asserted against them. The Supreme Court granted the defendants’ motion on the ground that the condition of the wire or cord was open and obvious and not inherently dangerous. The plaintiff appeals.

In support of their motion, the defendants failed to establish, prima facie, that the cord or wire was not inherently dangerous … . Franzo v Town of Hempstead, 2021 NY Slip Op 02787, Second Dept 5-5-21
