Bocanegra v. City of New York

Nov 27, 2007
Versions:45 A.D.3d 797
845 N.Y.S.2d 750

In an action to recover damages for personal injuries, the defendant Cobar Construction Corp. appeals, as limited by its brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Flug, J.), entered September 29, 2006, as denied its motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint and all cross claims insofar as asserted against it.

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

The defendant Cobar Construction Corp. failed to establish its prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law dismissing the complaint and all cross claims insofar as asserted against it (see Winegrad v New York Univ. Med. Ctr., 64 NY2d 851 [1985]; Johnston v City of New York, 18 AD3d 712 [2005]). Under the circumstances, a triable issue of fact exists as to whether it created a depression in the crosswalk which allegedly caused the plaintiff to fall. Goldstein, J.P., Skelos, Dillon and Covello, JJ., concur.
