13 A.D.2d 993 (N.Y. App. Div. 1961)

Opinion

June 14, 1961


In a negligence action to recover damages for the wrongful death of plaintiff's intestate, an invitee, resulting from a fall down a stairway to a cellar, the door to which was adjacent to another door leading to a bar, defendants appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County, entered September 27, 1960, upon a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, after a jury trial. Judgment affirmed, with costs. It was for the jury to determine whether danger by reason of confusion between the two doors was reasonably foreseeable ( Christianson v. Breen, 288 N.Y. 435). Beldock, Acting P.J., Ughetta, Kleinfeld, Christ and Pette, JJ., concur.
