Wolak v. Power Auth. of the St. of New York

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Nov 15, 1995
221 A.D.2d 921 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

November 15, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Niagara County, Mintz, J.

Present — Green, J.P., Pine, Wesley, Callahan and Davis, JJ.


Order and judgment unanimously reversed on the law with costs, motion denied and complaint reinstated. Memorandum: Supreme Court erred in granting defendant's motion for summary judgment. There are triable issues of fact whether defendant breached a duty of care to motorists by failing to install a stop sign or traffic light and whether the absence of those devices was a proximate cause of the accident (see, Alexander v Eldred, 63 N.Y.2d 460).
